@DHarker13 @s8mb if theres no reason for a place to exist it will die, this is fine. Policy as it is currently works to prevent those opportunities existing in the first place.

@DHarker13 @s8mb as they are - jobs in lancashire and such are non existant, so young people get out. Policy should cater to this and allow productive activity, not fucking ban it.

- Put tens of billions in wind and solar costs onto energy bills
- Prohibit fracking and drilling for North Sea oil & gas
- Impose a carbon tax 50% higher than California’s and 6x higher than China’s
- Borrow billions of pounds to pay for a “cost of living bailout”
Steven Swinford@Steven_Swinford
EXCLUSIVE: Sir Keir Starmer has been told that he may have to “rethink” the government’s borrowing rules to fund a potential cost of living bailout amid mounting concern about the impact of the Iran war on household finances. The Times has been told that there was a discussion about the government’s fiscal rules at Cabinet on Tuesday. Lisa Nandy, the culture secretary, suggested that they may need to be reconsidered if prices continue to rise and a major package of support is needed. Nandy, who is aligned with the soft left of the Labour party, has become the first member of the Cabinet to suggest that the government’s fiscal rules may need to be relaxed in response to the crisis. Ministers are increasingly concerned that the conflict in the Middle East will lead to long-term economic scarring and push up the cost of food, heating and mortgage payments for millions of families. The cost of food is expected to rise particularly sharply as a result of fertiliser shortages and the impact of increased transport costs The Treasury stands by the fiscal rules, saying they have helped bring “stability to the public finances, investment to our infrastructure and reform to our economy”. It points out they were a manifesto promise thetimes.com/article/83d4c6…

@DHarker13 @s8mb I dont give a toss about 'communities'
English
@consumerofmonch @s8mb Every community threatened with fracking has already spend many years telling fracking companies they don’t want the negative impacts of fracking. No one wants it, other than rich Londoners who won’t be forced to live in an ecological hellscape.
English
@Albrochier damn I cant believe government proposals are within government policy

@DHarker13 @s8mb If fracking isn't viable nobody will do it 👍

As annoying as this is we’re not the only country to have fucked it. Germans actually decommissioned all their nuclear. Gulf Arabs have had decades & infinite cash to build air defences and they’ve been busy building literal lines in the sand
realhansard@realhansard
Well it’s just as well we heeded Nick Clegg’s warnings back in the 2010s that nuclear power would take too long to build.

@LukeTryl British domestic failure is only divine in how miraculous it is that a country does to itself what Britain has.

@londonHenryGB The deficit would be a mere £120bn a year without considering anything else.

£15 billion from a wealth tax?
The UK government spends that in about 4–5 days.
Day one priority: gone by day six.
Farrukh@implausibleblog
Zack Polanski, "A wealth tax won't fix everything but it would be a very good place to start" "1% on £10 million, and 2% on £1 billion, would raise around £15 billion a year" "A clear message that those who have accumulated the most money will pay a little bit more" "For a truly progressive government a wealth tax needs to be a day one priority" "And to get our economy moving we much look at all the levers we can pull" "That must include equalising capital gains tax with income tax" "Close down tax avoidance loopholes" "And to expand National Insurance to cover income from investment as well as earned income"

You're about to wish there were 20 million fewer people in Britain and we had total food independence.
We can do that btw.
#Marcher@MarcherReborn
Fertiliser prices (historically 20-25% crop costs) have now doubled for farmers Diesel has doubled, while machinery and fuel costs were also historically 20-25% of crop costs. Imagine the cost of ALL food products in the next few months??

Can’t remember who said that Britain is a pension fund with a nuclear deterrent attached, but it increasingly feels like instead living in a death cult with a pension fund attached.

@mseebach @cjsnowdon another way of saying many britons are thick
English
@cjsnowdon A slightly kinder interpretation is that the British public has some degree of trust that when politicians breezily proposes a policy, they've actually checked (and cared about the answer) whether the country could afford it.

@TheGhostSleepi1 That physiognomy isn´t textbook english anything, unless you mean modern "10 out of 10´s in bongland" women.

English surname, textbook English physiognomy, but sure, she's Jewish because she "desecrates Catholic churches" in her music videos. Mate, doesn't get more English than that. Look up the Reformation.

@Sola_Requiem that slutty 4-foot gremlin is jewish herself that’s why she pretends to be a blonde haired blue eyed bimbo while desecrating Catholic churches

@anarkii22 Tough shit. It is wildly immoral to keep stacking the needs of the unproductive on the labour of an increasingly tiny group of people. May as well just ban emigration and enslave working age people.
English
@it_is_fareed Whilst I agree that this would be catastrophic for the UK, they shouldn't be allowed to keep increasing it as life expectancy gets higher. People live longer but that doesn't mean they're able to continue working longer.
English
@phasereturnmre Pensions are almost the purest definition of worthless shite spunk. Productive people made poorer so the unproductive can sit at home wanking.
English
@it_is_fareed How much we spunking on worthless shite this week Mick?
Dunno Dave. Fucking shitloads.
Any of it doing anything for people?
Nah mate. Not a sausage.
You think we should give a bit back Mick?
Have a laugh you cahnt!
Yeah, what am I like?
