Economic lectures from a conservative fan that gave us the growth monsters of Brexit and Liz Truss. Sit down.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Fanny clearly has no idea how it works. I was enlightening him.

That is not to say I agree with every Tory economic policy, so stop harping back to what the last lot did. It's what this lot are doing the matters now.

I simply don't understand how they preach growth and offer nothing to achieve it. In fact the opposite
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't understand how we've not had any notable growth in over a decade, how the national debt has hit levels not seen since the post war era and we've cut ties and isolated ourselves from our closest trading partners, the country as a whole has not had a pay rise in just under a decade and you expect immediate results from one budget, it's absolute bonkers to me.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

You have to look at the global position. No major economy has achieved any notable growth other than a few who really have started from a very low base.

Labour will find the same problem. Talking about growth is one thing, to actually deliver it is another when globally things remain very suppressed.

I can see they have a long term vision based around investment in UK infrastructure and that is a positive, but this is years off. There is nothing to stimulate growth in much of the economy, to help businesses thrive, just more cost.

I think we'll have to get used to confident politicians who see a bigger picture rather than the fear filled populism of recent administrations.
I'd love to see the UK soar ahead, start racking up GDP figures like they did under new.Labour but it isn't gonna happen overnight. I know tories don't like looking back a few years but it's the actions of the Tory party that have forced the hand of this administration and their playing with the cards they were dealt, they're getting the unpopular stuff out of the way at the start of their tenure in the hope to get gravy at the end of it.

It mightbwork, it might nor, but I personally have more trust and faith in this lot economically than the last lot over anything. Time will tell, I'm not blindly tying.myself to their masts but I think I'm more patient than some.

I totally agree with you on the 'green economy' and we may well have missed the boat (although i Trump cancels a lot of their green investment then maybe there's a gap to fill).

My cynical side says that they are being hard now in the hope their long term plans come good by the next election.

The danger is they will lose a lot of people along the way because they have done what Labour do, and this has not been popular with only one Labour Government in the last 45 years and even they were barely traditional labour.

Who mentioned anything about a ‘holiday’?
