  2.  @markwelch3564  Im not an economist, I'm an author on psychology and the collapse of civilisations. So I cant tell you what to do to build the economy but I can tell you that no amount of Labour is going to transform things for at least 8 years and more likely 15. The UK is in a situation called "interconnected cascading systems failure" Everything is broken, everything you need to fix it is broken and everything you do makes the situation worse. ON TOP of which you have Ai - and that is going to radically change the world and work and we have no idea how it will change it so we cant even make a PLAN. The UK relies on banking, legal, insurance, media as major revenue generators and these are the very industries that will be most impacted by AI - will we have 20% unemployment or 35%...??? or 5% We literally DO NOT KNOW. UBI will be a necessity but then you have to jack up corporation tax to 75% to pay for it, so companies will just flee the first countries that introduce it, but if you dont introduce UBI then there is literally NO MONEY in the system for people to buy stuff...!!! The UK is in the worst of all possible positions at the worst of all possible times - this is the economic equivalent of having Boris Johnson in charge when a pandemic hits. Every other country in the west has a basically OK economy, they are not fundamentally BROKEN, so they can take it step by step and see what Ai brings and adapt. But the UK has to make VERY RADICAL CHANGES cos the economy is utterly broken, the entire country is utterly broken, so Labout have to literally GUESS and then invest hundreds of billions of borrowed £££ on an absolute blind guess. If they get it right - the UK simply does not totally collapse into Argentinian levels of chaos. If they get it wrong the UK will make Agentena look like paradise. We have to bet the farm and the mortgage on the farm on a total guess and HOPE...!!!
