Bring back hanging and save the cost of housing criminals and building new prisons.
Force the education system to teach political science so that should we ever have another referendum the voters will have at least some idea what they are doing and we can avoid another Brexit.

"Slow down immigration it doesn’t boost the economy it’s a huge drain " Immigration costs £5bn odd a year. Obesity, smoking, drug abuse and alcoholism costs the nhs £50bn every year National debt interest is £9bn a month £10bn foreign aid (inc migrants) a lot of it to corrupt African states who support Putins war A reported £30-40bn tax gap; Starbucks, Amazon et all offshoring profits to avoid tax 2.4 million council houses and flats sold off at one time discounts on right to buy, which with increased property values has cost the country £600bn. Add £2bn a year housing homeless because of this. Repurchase all these at original sale prices. £219million a year spent on 5000 empty ‘buffer’ hotel rooms for small boat crossings | |||

Why is the UK now so obsessed with migrants coming in. Where do people think the Italians in the 1940 came from, the large Pakistani communities that ran the corner shops come from, and under the EU we dont realy know how meany came to the UK. The UK birth rate is falling so people will be needed. My point is about letting them in and getting them working to pay in to the system ASAP. NO STATE HOUSING OR BENIFITS | |||

Craziest of all is the encouragement of population growth." I agree. The obsession with growth is counter-productive and fundamentally damaging because it is not sustainable in the long term. It's akin to over-fishing a lake. As the pool of customers dwindles, ever increasing amounts of effort are needed to chase the few remaining stragglers. That's actually quite wasteful. Breaking even is sensible and stable. | |||

One the reasons the tories got hammered at the last election was because people thought the country was fucked. It was hardly a secret." Without doubt. But now he has brought the economy down, the thing that’s creates growth for tax revenue. | |||

"I'm really not a fan of Starmer and his cronies. However I really hope he makes a good fist of his time in office. Our country is in really poor shape at the moment, mostly due to the last lots complete incompetence at pretty much everything. But also due to the general populaces apathy. We need to get some pride back in Britain, values, produce, engineering, education, healthcare, security, population etc Agreed on Cons, but Labour have failed dismally. How has he managed the economic downturn, reduced business confidence and increased inflation in only 6 months. Agree with all of that. I don't think talking down the country at every opportunity does much for our countries prospects. Who is going to want to invest in us if our leaders keeps saying the country is fucked. One the reasons the tories got hammered at the last election was because people thought the country was fucked. It was hardly a secret." Of course but it behoves a leader not to talk the country they lead down at every opportunity. And let's face it they have so far just made things worse. Appreciate it's going to take time but as someone famous once said... Its the economy stupid | |||

Nowhere have I mentioned the cost of generation. | |||

"Ask him to call a General Election so he can be voted out!!" With the size of the majority in parliament he’s going nowhere. You’re going to have to wait a few years yet and hopefully the tories will have got their act together and provide a sensible alternative. | |||

"following on from Starmer's ask of the regulators to come up with ideas to boost growth: If Starmer asked you the question, what ideas do you have to boost growth? " Quit and hold an election. Get them out . | |||

"Wind & solar is the cheapest form of U.K. energy" It's only the cheapest form if you're solely looking at generation costs. When you factor in the costs of creating and purchasing the equipment, the infrastructure needed to allow it to be connected to the grid, the subsidies, and the compensation payments when they have to be turned off, they get quite expensive. And that's before we start to discuss the oil and gas plants that have to be present to cover the shortfall when the wind isn't blowing or the sun isn't shining, and the fact that those plants can't be run efficiently if they have to keep being adjusted to match the solar and wind output minute by minute. If wind and solar really were that cheap, we wouldn't need the subsidies, as companies would be falling over themselves in the rush to build more wind and solar plants. But we do have subsidies, and we still have to guarantee minimum payments before anyone will build anything. | |||

It would be good to see the relative fully loaded costs per kwh for each type of energy. Including maintenance costs, building costs, commissioning, decommissioning, land, and so on. | |||

Hold on there. That all sounds like common sense and good policies that might lead to a smaller state and economic growth. | |||

"I would tell him to push for better education and training for British people of all ages to work in the NHS. Raise wages so that work in public health is more attractive, and give them the ambition of a great pension, so that they would be less willing to work abroad. Also make those who did leave, aware that they could return and enjoy these better wages and pensions." If only we’d have done that before voting to leave the EU. | |||

"Reduce the tax burden on companies and individuals, paid for by: Reducing the number of Quangos Reducing the civil service numbers Reducing the number of economic immigrants Reducing the subsidies paid to wind and solar projects " Yes the tax burden is way too high. As for the other things you mention I just don't see any of them happening under Starmer. Quango's? He's actually increasing the number. Since July he's averaged around a new one every week. Reducing the civil service? The Tory plan to cut 60,000 has been well and truly dumped and, as with Quango's, the number is actually increasing. The civil service should be there to manage the country. Not a WFH job creation scheme. Illegal and economic migrants? While some skilled economic migrants are actually needed Starmer has no plan whatsoever to manage the current influx and illegal numbers will increase. Sweden has got tough and Germany is about to, so where does anyone think theirs will end up. Wind and Solar? Cheap clean energy..... Er well not really. The sunshine and the wind may be clean and free but that's where the good news ends. Without subsidy windmills struggle to cover their production and maintenance costs and, as yet, no-one has factored in the disposal costs at the end of their lifespan. Besides that, they have to be backed up by gas for when the wind doesn't blow. Solar is just nonsense for the UK climate. We have solar panels on our house in Spain (a country well known for long sunny days, our area averages 320 sunny days per year) and to be fair in the summer months our bills have been slashed. In the winter not so much so, even here. It's still a bit cheaper than before but our December bill was more than 3 times our July one. Solar panels may generate power in the UK during the long days of summer but very little in the winter (when you actually need it). Some parts of the country get barely 5 hours of daylight and the sun (if you see it at all) is so low in the sky that power generation is negligible. Buy hey, they keep that unhinged buffoon Milliband's air smelling sweet. Just a pity about the guy in China breathing in the sulphur from the coal fired power station that supplies the factory. | |||
