A no choice option to do certain things. Listening to his general noises there is some mileage in them but time to do and external effects leave a ???

More Reeves Merging smaller pension funds to make them larger which increases their investment choices and size. Something Canada did a while ago. Loosening banking etc regs. I expected this and wondered why the Tory didn't. Other countries have. It relates to drops in performance in these sectors.

A country that has loads of them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Swiss_referendums

Biden looked after that rather well, Growth and more jobs. Effects not noticed by the swing volters.

The main reason for as swing in votes is cost of living and inflation.

I took a look at 2 low paid jobs. Amazon and Tesco. Amazon was a permanent job and accepted 16 and up. Tesco for some reason 18 years old min. 3 jobs in one store each a single 10hr shift and temporary. One shift 8am start the other 2 11pm finish and both weekend jobs. To get support someone...

You need to consider Labour's ideas on education - I have already mentioned one aspect - adult. Another applies to jobs that are available / needs. We even do need cleaners...

No actions just discussions and negotiations.

I don't think that there is sufficient info about to get a clear picture. Median house prices might help but we only get averages. I can take 2 areas. Birmingham and Redditch. My last job was in Redditch. I would say like for like house prices are largely lower in Redditch than B'ham. I came...

These figures do not mean much really. Jobs need people that can fill them and relative location of job and the person can also count. A couple of hang on a min as well So the solution is to do nothing? Just leave things as they were? Predictions - obviously the BofE and OBR are in a...

I don't think it's possible to generalise like that. Info on wage levels in particular areas of the country are needed. Really range needs to be considered as well. Median figures take some of that into account. There is always going to be some high pay jobs around. This page has a map of median...

The age shift I mentioned is fact and doesn't have much to do with poverty. It's a general thing across a wide range of house prices across the country. The consumer aspect is an observation but it's also factual. For one it can result in people being trapped in rented accommodation due to...

It's possible to download it or read a summary. That is rather short but here it is. Too short????? https://www.project2025.org/truth/ Trump is currently employing 4,000 people for their civil service. The political aspects go way further down the tree than ours do. An American who didn't...

It's odd that in MBK's world young stay longer with parents, buy houses later in life than they used to and also produce babies later on in life. Not mentioning the bank of mom and dad. In his opinion people can fix this easily. Actually at a variety of income levels they can't. Some of that is...

You don't seem to realise that the council house budget is entirely different to the councils normal budget. The council house budget is maintained purely from the rental income from them. Once sold even leasehold that income is lost. These days it seems it's not easy to sell a house that is...

If compulsory where does the council get the money from? What valuation? House prices increase even if just due to general inflation. If repairs needed where does that money come from? As soon as a council ceases to be one it no longer contributes to running the others.

My tyres are in need of consideration. No MOT worries but maybe next year. Certain degree of uneven wear. Looks to be down to the car not alignment. Currently 30k miles probably 35 or more next year. I'll refit OEM parts basically because I feel the maker concentrates on grip rather than an...

:) no just pointing it out. You though do not seem to want to pass on the NIC increase or absorb it. Also expect to gain 100% profit over salary on each person you employ. Not a model all can use. Corporate profit - OBR As a share of GDP, corporate profits(excluding financial and North...

Fact. Remove the bottom end and each of the 3 other sectors pay ~30% of the take.

The main problem is what ever is done needs to be feasible so I outlined one aspect of that. Nothing happening now all quiet etc. No. Rayner is questioning right to buy on council houses. You may say Labour is. There is a need to consider what right to buy did to council house stock. The final...
