Britain is STILL stuck in a GROWTH EMERGENCY

Average GDP per capita growth over the last two decades is less than 1%.

So, we’re launching Kickstart – LFG’s plan to kickstart economic growth.

TODAY, we are announcing THREE radical actions that Andy Burnham could take to kickstart economic growth.

1️⃣PROTECT PARENT PAYCHEQUES: STOP punishing parents for the crime of having children and earning over £60,000.

2️⃣STOP THE QUANGO DYNASTY: Put an expiry date on the unelected bodies who are BLOCKING growth in all of Britain’s industries.

3️⃣BACK BRITISH CREATORS: END ALL ATTEMPTS to “privilege” established media companies.

EVERY WEEK, we’ll show you the radical ideas (both big and small) that we’ve selected from LFG members that Andy Burnham could do IMMEDIATELY to KICKSTART GROWTH.

Sign our plan. FORCE the next government to kickstart economic growth👇

@antonioguterres Renewables are not the cheapest and it's dishonest to say so when the evidence is overwhelmingly to the contrary

If wind and solar were the cheapest form of generation, countries with lots of wind and solar would have the lowest bills

But they don't. They have the highest

The Urban Heat Island Effect (UHIE) is primarily responsible for the European heatwave. Yes... CO2 also plays a small role. A small AC would solve the problem for most small European homes.

[Dr. Matthew M. Wielicki @MatthewWielicki]

Every European heatwave gets wall-to-wall panic coverage.

Meanwhile, cold kills roughly 10 times more people than heat.

🚨 CONFIRMED: The climate hoax revealed:

Leading physicist Dr. William Happer: "More CO₂ is good for the world... It's absurd to be trying to reduce CO₂."

"We're in a CO₂ famine now... So it's unbelievable that they've managed to turn this beneficial gas, a part of life, into a threat."

Britain is in an Energy Emergency.

But the Government is FAILING TO ACT. They have no plan, no idea what to do, and they’re leaving us exposed.

So today we’re launching The LFG Emergency Energy Bill to SAVE OUR INDUSTRIES and GET BILLS DOWN

Here’s how it would get bills down IMMEDIATELY:

1️⃣ SCRAP all levies on energy bills. These stealth taxes on the British people are unnecessarily hiking up their bills by hundreds of pounds.

2️⃣ REOPEN THE NORTH SEA, and directly deploy the tax revenue generated to GET BILLS DOWN.

3️⃣ Stop new CfD contracts and launch an investigation into the system that signed them off. Last year, billpayers paid £1.5 billion for big renewable corporations to THROW ENERGY AWAY. By 2030, it’ll be £8 billion. The existing settlement is a national scandal.

4️⃣ Scrap Clean Power 2030 targets. These needless constraints have pushed civil servants to procure wind at any cost – and at huge expense to the British people.

5️⃣ DITCH the duties of energy regulators, NESO and Ofgem, towards Net Zero goals, so their only focus is to MINIMISE ENERGY COSTS, subject to security of supply.

6️⃣ Hold auctions for connecting to the grid, and directly deploy the revenue generated to GET BILLS DOWN

Our Emergency Energy Bill has cross-party support. It is ready to PASS IMMEDIATELY. It does what governments for the past 20 years didn’t – it takes RADICAL ACTION to SAVE OUR INDUSTRIES and GET BILLS DOWN.

There’s no excuse. Last week, the US suspended access to some of the world’s leading frontier AI models. Britain is vulnerable - and our energy prices are strangling our national security. We cannot afford to be at the mercy of other countries or events beyond our control any longer.

The Government needs to GET BILLS DOWN NOW or explain why they’re still letting this emergency destroy our future.

Force Westminster to ACT. Send our Bill to your local MP and sign our letter to the Prime Minister and Ed Miliband. GET BILLS DOWN, NOW!

[Liam Halligan @LiamHalligan]

Labour risks being forced to seek emergency help from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as Britain lurches toward a debt crisis, leading economists are now warning.

Former IMF chief economist Ken Rogoff says, in a new interview, that there is “more than 50:50 chance” of a major UK debt crisis before the end of this decade.

He is joined by Sir Charlie Bean, a former senior official at both the Bank of England and the Office for Budget Responsibility, who says the need for an IMF bail-out is now a “material risk” for the British economy.

I not only firmly agree with Ken Rogoff and Sir Charlie Bean – but have been repeatedly issuing the very same warnings for a very long time.

Because the grave risk of a major fiscal meltdown has been apparent for at least the last two years – to anyone who combines serious knowledge of UK economics and politics and global debt markets with an open mind.

The UK's public finances were already fragile when Labour took office back in July 2024.

But this government's misguided, ideologically-driven statist policies have made a bad situation much worse, seriously increasing the danger of a deep fiscal crisis - which would cause a disastrous state funding shortfall and a very nasty inflation spike.

That would result in Downing Street being forced to follow the orders of unelected technocrats flown in from Washington and elsewhere.

It would be a very major national humiliation combined with a deep economic slump and an even more intense cost-of-living crisis – in which low-income households, as ever, would suffer the most.

Yet those of us that have shown the brains and courage to point out these inconvenient truths over recent months and years have long been dismissed and derided for our trouble - not only by ignorant politicians and approval-seeking journalists but also the overwhelming majority of "leading economists".

Ahead of the general election in mid-2024, with Labour on course to win, the conventional wisdom among the great sages of broadsheet journalism and the economics establishment was that "the adults would soon be back in charge" ... Labour would "get lucky with the economy" ... and "Britain would now enjoy an extended period of political and fiscal stability".

I thought that was total nonsense – not least as I was well aware Labour's plans irresponsibly to increase borrowing and spending would be met with deep scepticism by the global pensions funds, insurance companies and other institutional investors that lend governments serious money.

My weekly @Telegraph "Economic Agenda" column of 23rd June 2024, a fortnight ahead of the general election, was a total outlier. I recounted the disaster of 1976 – when Britain was forced to go "cap in hand" to the IMF for a bailout – and warned that "The Ghosts of the 1970s" would haunt Labour's (so-called) economic resurrection".

Six months later, after the October 2024 "Hallowen" budget in which Chancellor Rachel Reeves did indeed sharply hike borrowing and spending, I assessed the market reaction then doubled-down – warning more assertively in my column of 12th January 2025 that "The UK risks a return to 1976 unless Reeves changes course".

And then again on 20th July 2025, as Labour's policies raised the costs of doing business, translating into price pressures which pushed up government borrowing costs even more, I again cautioned that "Inflation risks are taking Britain to the debt-crisis cliff edge".

"It’s now screamingly obvious that Labour’s crude Keynesianism – “pump priming” the economy by upping state borrowing and spending – isn’t working," I wrote in that column last July.

"Worse than that, this Government’s actions are pushing Britain towards a budgetary crisis every bit as serious as that in 1976 – when the UK was forced to go “cap in hand” to the IMF for a bail-out".

It's been a lonely task issuing these warnings. I've been hounded in public debates, slagged off by senior civil servants and often dismissed by "leading economists" as "alarmist".

So what do these same "leading economists" now say to Rogoff (Harvard Professor, Former IMF Chief Economist) and Bean (LSE Professor and Former Deputy Governor of the Bank of England)?

The "economics establishment" – with very few honourable exceptions, the brilliant @jagjit_chadha among them – has been and remains extremely reluctant to point out the deeply unsustainable nature of this government's addiction to ever more borrowing.

The systemic fiscal dangers of evermore "tax and spend" – and the prospect of a serious spike in gilt yields and related fiscal meltdown – are now so real and present as to be completely undeniable.

Yet the UK government is about to shift even further to the left, pushing up borrowing and spending even more under a new leader, in a bid to appease the massed ranks of economic illiterates among Labour's Parliamentary party and activist base – making those dangers even more acute.

Yet, still, the silence among "public intellectual" economists is deafening.

I'm glad the likes of Ken Rogoff and Charlie Bean are now issuing clear warnings. So where is the rest of the "economics establishment" - those who purport to understand fiscal management and financial markets, and often funded by taxpayers' money?

Britain is now clearly in the crosshairs of a very serious danger. The government's creditors are increasingly fickle and based overseas – with no regulatory or cultural obligations to lend money to the UK government.

Those holding UK gilts are increasingly "speculative" rather than "strategic" long-term investors – looking for quick returns, financing their government bond purchases with "leverage" (money borrowed from elsewhere), which will quickly be withdrawn when senitment decisively shifts, causing a plunge in gilt prices and a sharp additional surge in government borrowing costs, setting up a vicious circle.

The UK government is very heavily indebted – and the global investors we rely on to bankroll a huge slice of our state spending are alarmed that of the £132bn the government borrowed last year, no less than £110bn was spent on debt interest – as I wrote in a column on 17th May 2026, "As Labour lurches further left, the markets are calling time".

Global investors are alarmed the UK has consistently had the highest inflation in the G7 (which pushes up borrowing costs) and has easily the highest share of index-linked debt (which magnifies the burden of inflation on the state's balance sheet).

And they are deeply, deeply alarmed that when Labour came to power in mid-2024, the Office for Budget Responsibility was forecasting additional state borrowing of £323bn by 2029, the scheduled end of this Parliament.

But Labour’s runaway spending and growth-crushing tax rises mean that the same five-year borrowing forecast is now £583bn – 80pc higher. And still, the trade unions, MPs and Labour activists who will choose Starmer’s successor now want even more.

It is not too late to pull the UK back from the fiscal brink, to avoid the extremely painful and deep, lingering damage of being forced to go to the IMF and perhaps other multi-lateral creditors for a bailout.

It is not too late to avoid the inflation surge, the currency crash, the shocking blow to consumer and business confidence alongside the sky-high interest rates that will seriously whack our economy – or the perhaps even deeper damage of yet more of the British electorate losing faith in the ability of our establishment to manage the country in a manner that avoids imposing serious hardship on so many hard-working people simply trying to make their way.

But our political and media class needs to start acknowledging the economic and financial truth – that the UK government is borrowing and spending too much, taxation is now so high that it's hammering growth and employment, and that trying to finally get the economy moving by "moving further left", borrowing and spending even more, will result in a fiscal collapse.

Smart, experienced, high-profile economists need to start speaking out – as Rogoff and Bean just have – raising the alarm in a bid to force the broader establishment to face reality. Before it's too late.

If you've read this far, you clearly think this analysis is worthwhile and important. So please like and share.

@Ed_Miliband @CBItweets The report explicitly says it is not the view of the CBI.

It was in fact funded by a green lobby think tank backed one of Labour’s biggest donors: Quadrature Capital.

I’m starting to worry that the Labour Energy team can’t read.

This is not a report about jobs that only exist because of Net Zero.

A sizeable chunk of the jobs included are ‘waste and recycling’ and nuclear power. To state the obvious, we had those before Net Zero.

They aren’t explicit, but they appear to also include burning trees at Drax, which nobody thinks is green but which our Net Zero legislation forces us to do.

It also includes water monitoring and soil restoration - again, nothing to do with Net Zero.

It includes jobs which are not strictly a result of Net Zero, but ‘are not in conflict with it’ - for example, solar panels on roofs, or engineering consultancies. But again, there is no evidence that these jobs would not exist regardless. China, the world’s largest polluter, and the US, which doesn’t have a net zero target, have an abundance of clean tech jobs.

The problem is not clean tech, it is legislation which forces you to pick decarbonisation *when it does not work for the economy or living standards*.

If industries are paid through extremely expensive subsidies on everyone’s energy bills, of course they will be raising private capital - it’s a rent seekers’ paradise - but is that positive for the economy overall?

This is almost as bad as their ‘independent evidence’ that Clean Power 2030 would cut bills, which also turned out to be pure garbage.

For all of those repeating the Labour lines, please at least do the basics of reading the report.

The World Cup starts in two weeks and millions of football fans around the world may still be confused about Iran.

Why is the flag such an issue?

One flag you’ll see inside stadiums brought in by the fans represents 2,500 years of history, civilisation, culture and identity known as “Iran”.

The flag you’ll see on TV represents terrorism, massacres, torture, executions of innocents, the murder of its own football fans & footballers and known as “The ‘Islamic’ Republic of Iran”.

There has never been such a chasm between a ruling regime and a people desperately trying to separate themselves from it.

There is no confusion amongst Iranians. One is their flag. The other is not.

Football belongs to people not governments.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Have you even considered asking your members, you know the ones who fund you, whether they agree to this?

Women make up 75% of your membership, myself included.

Why would you just assume your members want to give up their sex based protections?

The Equality Act states you cannot implement any legislation that benefits one protected characteristic at the expense of another protected characteristic.

This is effectively what you are proposing

One of the few declassified IDF drone videos from high altitude over Gaza.

First 5-7 seconds: Watch Hamas rockets launching from right in the middle of civilian areas. The IDF then tracks the exact launch sites in real time and destroys them with precision strikes.

This is the reality behind the “indiscriminate bombing” lie.

Hamas hides among civilians, IDF targets the terrorists.

Share this. The truth needs to be seen. 🇮🇱
