1. Transfer the tens of billions earmarked for net zero to defence and supply chain resilience, to create a major industrial/defence sector, thereby creating skilled jobs in UK, rather than China (as net zero does)
2. Radical tough love welfare reform to get 1m people of working age into work, thereby cutting the welfare bill and increasing the tax base. Coupled with massive expansion of German-class STEM skill apprenticeships.
3. Radical reform of planning laws to stop nimbys/greens from thwarting every major infrastructure development. Put judges/courts in their place when it comes to such matters.
4. Put rocket boosters under high-speed rail link between Leeds-Manchester-Liverpool. Brook no opposition/delay.
5. Unleash North Sea oil/gas + slash energy bills by removing all green levies. New breed of gas-fired and smaller nuke generating stations.
Much more to suggest. But this should be good for starters.

Bank of England refuses to cut interest rates because inflation rising again. Downgrades growth outlook for the last three months of this year to zero, from previous prediction of 0.3 per cent.
Cost of ten-year borrowing for the Government at just over 4.5 per cent, over double what it costs Germany to raise money in global debt markets and far higher than France — even though both are in political crisis.
Far from meeting its pledge for UK to become fastest growing economy in G7, Labour’s current main challenge is to avoid recession.

Pep Guardiola on Jurgen Klopp: "I will sleep better! The day before playing Liverpool, it was always a nightmare. We cannot define our period here without him, without Liverpool. The best rival I have ever had in my life."

🥇| It was verbally agreed between Xabi Alonso and Bayer Leverkusen that the manager can leave for one of his former clubs, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Liverpool, before the expiry of his contract. However, this is not a written clause. [@SkySportDE]

The most telling part of this truthful speech by @afneil is the absence of rightful applause from the audience. Says much about Britain

I find this rather sad. I'm not sure the BBC even realises how much it is damaging it's own brand now.

@Kevin_Maguire Funny that, Keir and Rayner can have beer, wine and curry because they are ‘at work’ but it didn’t count at Downing Street when they were doing the same!!
