"Reeves bangs on about “hard-wiring growth into every Cabinet decision" yet destroys it with every decision she takes. The Chancellor is a one-woman growth destruction machine, and here’s the latest example.

Pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca is literally the UK's biggest company. Yesterday, it withdrew plans for a £450million expansion of its vaccine manufacturing plant in Speke, Merseyside."

Omg, and yet the shambles of this utterly useless incompetent so-called UKGov continues. 

You can see why most of the low turned-out labour voters are regretting their decision. What an absolute mess.

I take from 8.32pm that you know the budget was disastrous, but you do not possess the humility to admit it.

 

Fool.

So is it true that nicebloke and gulliver are one and the same - or just twins separated at birth?

Worth 10 minutes for those of you who can read and comprehend(naming the unqualified is not necessary in this instance). 😉

It's like the Captain of the Titanic could clearly see the iceberg ahead but decided to hold course and speed!

Martin Vander Weyer, financial columnist for the Spectator, wrote recently:

I long to write less about Rachel Reeves and more about world-beating British businesses – such as Brompton, the folding bicycle maker whose fortunes I have followed since I bought the product and interviewed the founder-designer, Andrew Ritchie, 20 years ago.

The latest Brompton news was that profits collapsed from £11 million in 2023 to breakeven for the year to March 2024 in the teeth of a post-pandemic demand slump; and that additional hiring has been put on hold after Labour’s NI increase added ‘hundreds of thousands of pounds’ of extra costs. A move from cramped west London premises to a new base at Ashford in Kent, with room for big increases in output and skilled jobs, had already been deferred to 2029.

Meanwhile, the chief executive Will Butler-Adams warned that a proposed axing of tariffs on imports of Chinese bikes – as a quid pro quo for more UK access to China, which happens to be Brompton’s biggest export market – would do deep damage to his already beleaguered operation. ‘I don’t need the government to back me,’ he told the Financial Times. ‘I just don’t need them to kill me.’
