  1. If only we had a whole load of billionaires (more than ever and rising by the day)to tax to allow the investment dearly needed.because all these mega rich are telling us that everyone of them is going g to leave and they are totally right because they wouldn't lie about that.

  2. The pain of net growth?.lf we invested in renewable and insulation of our houes it would cut down demand for fossil fuels and increas the output of cheaper solar,wind and wave power that is much cheaper and not subject to the whims of such events as war and the greed.the country's proportion of renewable energy is already higher than expected but imagine how much better if the tories had not effectively banned on shore wind.lf they had invested in renewalables and not left it in the hand of the markets we would have been much nearer our climate targets and who knows maybe market leaders.and don't give me the Trump and lardy arses excuse of what happens when it's not sunny or windy.we could have invested in wave power (you know the waves that are always operating)and that investment never happened because of the short term view of if we can't make an immediate profit then it's not going to happen.thats exactly why you need goverment investment.even the victorians realised that you sometimes needed goverment investment and had public infrastructure projects such as the London underground.

  3. Anyone would have thought that the powers that be don't want to solve the housing crisis and have deliberately kept supply low to boost up the prices.that can't be possible because who would benifit in having the prices high.?

  4. Producing growth is not easy.however putting obvious barriers to achieving growth like adopting tory fiscal policies and taking small businesses is just making it far more difficult than necessary.

  5. The problem is that the tories and now labour are taking the wrong people.they should be taxing earned income less to encourage people to believe that working hard is worth it and at the same time taxing unearned in one more to allow that money to be used to invest in our infrastructure.the employers ni tax increase was an example of the wrong tax because it will be such an disincentive to take on new workers.the tories wasted billions on the ni give away which was a scorched earth policy to mess up labour and labour should have had the strength to reverse it and use some of it to increase the basic tax allowance which is effecting the income of so many poorer workers.

  8. You're forgotten the massive price rises of the water companies who want you to pay more because their infrastructure is a mess because they have sucked out billions that should have been invested to pay foreign investors and greedy top management.thanks thachter for once again really screwing our country.

  9. If only we had a labour goverment in charge who could set up such a scheme.?

  10. Trump talks very positively about the prospects of the usa.all that positivity will not stop the absolute mess that will occur when he becomes the dicatotor he told everyone he would become.yes there may well be growth but it will be only for the benifit of a small number of his friends.a large number of poor well armed maga are going to be very angry when they realise they have been conned.reform voters take note.

  11. But we can't possibly have an effective windfall tax on the energy companies that have been ripping us off left right amd centre.lt might that their billionaire major shareholder wouldn't get the return on their assets and wouldn't be able to afford their next yacht.luckily we now have a labour government.however starmer and reeves does not want to do anything to upset those billionaires and now Trump is sticking his greedy nose in.

  12. The measly 5% that the nurses received was a slap in the face to them and because they didn't raise the basic tax allowances it was actually only 4% after the extra tax was taken.another example of the contempt the tories have for those nhs workers who put their lives at risk and even saved the life of that scumbag lardy arse boris.

  13. I assume you were all right with spending when the corrupt lieing tory party were in government .labour is the lesser of two evils but never the less still an evil.

  14. Levelling up was never an actual thing but a pr stunt by the tories to con the general public that they cared.the video of soonackered saying he wanted the money to go to the well off areas instead of the poorer.add to that the torys controlled who got what and it was obvious just a corrupt con trick sold to the hard of thinking by the master of snake oil sales men lardy arse boris.

  15. Maybe politicians should be paid based on the outcomes of how competent they have been in goverment.lardy arse johnson would owe us millions in negative bonuses due to his absolute medal winning incompetence.lf he had thought there was going to be a cost to his incompetence maybe he would not have applied for the job of crime minister and how much better would our country have been.

  16. Maybe people don't want to come to the uk because of the lack of public services combined with the rasism of so many who seem to blame their problems on immigrants rather than the corrupt politicians and the wealthy donors whose greed is disgusting.
