Labour’s Manifesto

The FT is reporting that many non doms are leaving the country, so that’s a hoped-for basis for the ‘fully costed, fully funded’ plans out of the window. How predictable.

I also think it’s quite limited, and I worry that doing too little too slowly will provide a fertile climate for populism to grow here.

Now where will this private investment come from? China perhaps?

Always the doomsayer . Britain needs change The sooner the better !

We need green energy.

Travelling by train, pre covid, back from Italy and into France it was noticeable how many small waste areas in shunting yards etc had small solar panel arrays.

Here in France, since July 2023 French supermarkets with parking spaces for between 80 and 400 cars will have 5 years to install solar panels. In my nearest town the large supermarket had installed at least cover for 80 cars. The roof is also good when it rains. Not so far to get wet.

They can’t do much other than tinkering at the edges at the moment at least for this next five years, and tbh maybe that’s a good thing.

I think that would break the faith even further Grantanow. People are fed up of promises being made and not kept, and of the government following its own agenda rather than what people voted for. The best possible thing Labour could do over the next five years would be to deliver on their published manifesto.

Given the expected size of the Labour majority the Manifesto looks unambitious. This is a great opportunity to make some far-reaching changes as the Attlee government set out to do in 1945. Starmer should lift his vision and not tinker at the edges. The NHS, for example, needs major reform to fit it for the next 75 years. He should change the fiscal rules to enable a longer term strategy for UK development.

No problems in private companies investing in Green energy though is there? National Grid company, . already operating in Lincolnhire, the fact they want to destroy our countryside to bring "green energy for the rest of the country" , is not sitting well here, of course Chinese owned, so what to they care. huge solar farms, private companies, for the rest of the country try to have green energy. Siemens operating in Hull and our coast. So it's already being done, nothing new but Labour will take credit of course. Although if Labour took China out of the equation,that would be good. Making too much money at our expense.
