  1. Sunak tried a scorched earth strategy to hem Labour in so they had nothing to spend for 2 years with unfunded NI cuts I thought it was best of a bad job really

  6.  @shogunai  we've had 14 years of thatcherite economics which has crushed the economy You can't grow unless you invest, the Tories don't invest hence we've got poorer

  7. If you sort out the Asylum backlog and requests you wouldn't have desperate people fleeing from wars who've lost everything taking actions feeling they have nothing to loose. Process the cases asap deport the economic migrants Lets be clear 90% of this is on our own heads with actions taken in the west's endless pursuit of oil and if you think this is bad wait till climate change destabilises populations causing mass migration

  8. Renewable energy input is free and inflation proof once you've built the infrastructure Fossil based generation is subject to inflation, transportation costs and extraction costs. In 10 years Wind will still be Free

  9. @S1Rossco  Even if you weren't moving to renewable energy you'd still implement battery storage at grid nodes it saves 30% on costs whatever your source Estimates for turbine life are 25 years for both on and offshore costs. Last I looked onshore was the cheapest on the grid at 38, dogger has a contract price of 42 in comparison Hinkley C is already at 110 (if it ever comes online) The latest estimates for Offshore have seen a 2% drop in real term infrastructure costs but this is offset by inflation and interest rate rises the private sector are wanting around 52 as a forward contract price.

  13. She has a degree from the LSE and worked in the BOE, the budget given the state of the countries finances was a pretty good one Sunak played politics and spent 20 billion on an unfunded NI cut to try hem labour in so they wasted their 1st 2 years in office with no money for their priorities

  14. Fox is a toilet of disinformation run by one of the most corrupt people in business Murdock publications fuel lies and disinformation on both sides of the Atlantic, their operating moto is nothing is too outrageous to prop up the 1% and screw the rest

  17. Its a dog and pony show to get you all riled up of 80,000 asylum seekers only 62,000 will be granted with 18,000 deported That's a nothing number in terms of a population of 70 million Meanwhile the legal migration is through the roof because we've abandoned FOM and migrant workers from India and Nigeria won't work here without their families coming too and it being permanent The right wing in this country are just clueless the levels of stupidity and short term grandstanding is beyond a farce

  19.  @lewis123417  How is that? The previous OBR report was based on false data such as No pay awards for public sector workers Mythical savings in government budgets What Reeve announced was real investment into the economy to reduce waiting lists fix RAAC and move our renewable energy program and housing program forward. All the growth the Tories created in 14 years was on the back of migration if you look at GDP per Capita were poorer by 5% than in 2010, ere the Tories going to import another million to boost up their figures?
