Tbf to Arja rewarding train drivers & jnr doctors at least keeps the money in the circular economy. Those pounds will get spent many times.

Hilary Benn NI Sec says politicians have a responsibility to look after children. Then politicians have a responsibility to look after pensioners instead of screwing them.
Here on the costa del sol they look after their former council employees with 4 day trips out all paid.
Some in Wales say Labour always look after u.
I wonder y they think that - deaf and blind.
There is no turning back from the selfishness of the milibands who has no idea but self destruct
Dont talk about growth in windmills when we do not make them and cant recycle them - and they will never be what industry needs. labour knows not and will never deliver - even worse than couch pots like Cameroon after treason maybe the world will become flat and these silly isles run by mongs will fall off the edge

VLAD ,
Only an imbecile could make your latest comment. Labour could never be as bad as the Tories over 14 years , eg billions thrown away and much of it to their mates .

They're planning to give the Jocks 500,000 they won't say there minutes, they'll be straight down to England unless they're totally useless. Went Glasgow a few wks ago and it's literally flooded with swarthy beggars all ready.

That's a frightening statistic jordaggy, 632k firms employing thousands in a bad position. Budget worries me, we seem to be in a calm before storm. Not sure why the Top 7 US firms who generate 60bn in turnover annually in UK but only collectively pay 700m are not being targeted. Bought into Lloyds because I hoped we were over the worst...

Utrick
"Don't worry Scruff the UK is the most densely populated country europe"

Not strictly true geezwoir.

England is the most densely populated country in Europe, more so than holland, outside of the principalities (eg Monaco)

UK isnt as Scotland represents 35% of UK land mass and few people want to live there - plenty of space there given population only 5.5 million!!!!!

If you want a laugh go to the BBC website and click the article on increases in IHT.Dozens of lefties arguing that people should stand on their own two feet and not expect to inherit from mummy and daddy......whilst themselves relying on other tax payers to fund the raft of benefits they themselves recieve.

The Investment summitOctober 16, 2024 92 CommentsThe government announced £63 bn of investment following a one day taxpayers get a better deal.The Investment summitOctober 16, 2024 92 CommentsThe government announced £63 bn of investment following a one day event at the Guildhall. Much of it was familiar projects that companies have been working on for some time. Almost 40% of it was Scottish Power plans for more grid and a power cable link from Scotland to Yorkshire. Almost two thirds of it was investment in renewables and grid in pursuit of net zero.Scottish Power is down for £24 bn over four years. Last year it invested £1.8 bn, well up on the previous year. To do so and to pay a £1.25 bn dividend to its Spanish owner it added to its net borrowings. We are invited to believe it can treble its investment rate over the following year and sustain that for four years. How does it pay for that?The problem with this heavy investment in green transition including £8 bn in carbon capture and storage is it will not add much to GDP after the build activity, as the extra power is needed to replace closing nuclear and gas stations. Renewables need extra grid and storage but as the government tells us they will be cheaper than gas or nuclear that would reduce GDP.The government looked very unprepared for this Investment Summit though it was an idea the previous government started and the new government has been talking about it for months.If you want a growth strategy you should as a government have drawn up a bigger list of key infrastructure items we need where government plays a big role. Where were the road schemes, the new reservoirs, the new and larger water and sewer pipes, the broadband capacity, the new rail capacity, the flood schemes , the advanced all weather fruit and vegetable schemes and the rebuilt U.K. fishing fleets? Where is all the extra housing and infrastructure needed to provide for hundreds of thousands of new arrivals every year?There are so many more opportunities to grow where government is needed to offer planning permissions, licences and in some cases part of the investment finance. The £64 bn is a very limited list, with a few good private,y financed data centres as a welcome addition....John Redwood
