Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has said there are "no excuses" to not build (for not achieving)the 1.5 million new homes Labour promised in its election manifesto.
The government has said it will meet the house-building target in England by 2029, before the next general election. Well gloria - how many brickworks have closed? Nobody in the Z nut lot - want to learn a trade. Y pay them benefit cos the thought is 2 stressful. Tories no better - but u made a big point about it |
![](https://images.advfn.com/static/default-user.png) From Migration Watch:-
We urgently need policies that will tackle each major immigration route: for study; to work; and to join relatives or to marry. Migration Watch has long argued that to do this, caps are essential. Other proposals we have made in the past have included requiring sponsors, such as employers and universities, to ensure the departure of those they have sponsored. Migrants falling foul of the immigration rules should be removed; the wide scope there has long been for gaming the system must be tightened. Grounds for appeal must be restricted. There is much that can, and must, be done to reduce – as near as possible to balance - the dangerously high net migration levels - the sole driver of population growth.

Yes there is; but too many vested interests won't pursue it because they think like Kate that the goal of government economic policy is to "...deliver the kinds of output necessary to make public service funding sustainable".Wrong, the goal of government is not to sustain the public sector, it is to create the optimum conditions to make the people of Britain as prosperous as possible; if you don't understand that, you can't see the silver bullet.The first part is to stop doing stupid stuff, stop the disastrous tax increases on employment, stop the new opportunity killing Labour laws, stop enriching the public sector at the expense of private sector workers and most of all, stop net zero, entirely.As noted elsewhere in the DT today, cheap energy is the key to economic success everywhere in the world and the UK has the highest energy costs in the world, what does that tell you about future prospect?" Very slow and very steady rate cuts are necessary to create the right conditions for economic growth." Hogwash. The current spread between inflation and core interest rates is low by historic standards. The cost of consumer credit, by contrast, is as high as it's ever been. Knocking 1 or 1.5% off the bank rate won't change any 29% consumer credit contracts.Economic failure in a country as rich as the UK is a choice, not an inevitability. Over the past 28 years governments and voters have made many bad choices and without a reversal of those the future is dim...Daily Telegraph |
Guardian got the wrong proper noun.'Is nothing safe from Trumpian chaos'.Should be 'Rodders'.I see fat black Dave ie Trigger the road sweeper has opened talks with Caribbean re slavery reparations of trillions. I reckon a 22bn black hole will be a drop in the black ocean of black holes by 2029. Decades to recover imo. They are quite round the twist. They seem to have no grasp of reality let alone economics. As they move closer to banning log burners (an action group like JSO is forming and such groups seem to dictate policy) Del Boy is to use our money to subsidise a log burner power station - but only billions and we must have lots of cash to give to Mauritius and the Caribbean. |

2 bit Poly elevated to Uni status by BB nuts - blair/brown To avoid any possible risk of distressing its students, the University of the West of England has placed more than 200 trigger warnings on the works of Shakespeare. Very kind and inclusive, I’m sure. All the same, I’m puzzled by the one for The Tempest. Because it warns students that the play features “extreme weather”.
I can’t help feeling that students will already have gleaned this fact from the clue in the title. Which makes it the most superfluous trigger warning since the University of Aberdeen informed students that Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel Kidnapped “contains depictions of kidnapping”. |

Russian air defenses become more effective against Storm Shadow, ATACMS — General Staff
Russian General Staff Deputy Chief Colonel General Vasily Trushin said, that "thanks to the work of Russian scientists and engineers, a significant breakthrough in the effectiveness of high-precision means of defeat was achieved"
MOSCOW, February 7. /TASS/. Russian air defenses have become more effective in combating Western missiles, a senior defense official said.
Russian General Staff Deputy Chief Colonel General Vasily Trushin, who also serves as Russian Military Scientific Committee Chairman, said that "thanks to the work of Russian scientists and engineers, a significant breakthrough in the effectiveness of high-precision means of defeat was achieved, which today, despite the active use of enemy electronic warfare means, is no less than 90%."
"Another striking example was the research that allowed our air defenses to more effectively resist Western missiles like Storm Shadow and ATACMS, as well as to shoot down enemy drones in a wider range of altitudes and speeds," he said in an interview with the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper. |
