Economy Trumps Climate Emergency - says Labour
After snuffing out UK growth through months of spouting doom & gloom it looks like Labour are about to copy Trump — who has only been in the job a couple of days and attracted billions of dollars of new investment in the US.
Labour are now going full throttle when it comes to runways. I wouldn't be surprised if they even proposed a new Thames Estuary Airport!
Love him or hate him or simply ove to hate him: Trump after 4 years out of office knew what he wanted to do and set about doing it — immediately!
Contrast that with Labour's more than a decade out of power and have so far managed to bring a 'Save the taxpayer and Kill your old folk kindly bill" along with killing vacancies with a huge employment tax increase!
"The chancellor is expected to give her firm support to the expansion of Britain’s busiest airport – as well as bringing a second runway at Gatwick into full-time use and increasing the capacity of Luton – in a speech later this month."
Expect $$ to flow to the US to be invested where the new government seems to appreciate them.
Economy harmer Starmer in the meantime is trying to find new management speak that he hasn't used before: Twelve missions, seven pillars, half a dozen values, five milestones, eight foundations and and an unknown number of hard targets — in an effort to kill the rest of us via PowerPoint!
