Britain has caught up to US productivity before and it can do so again. The answer is simple on the surface: sustain investment in R&D, education, infrastructure, and management efficiency. Israel provides a model of a technology industry we should emulate: deep technology and

The right really needs to grasp this: It is impossible for Britain to now achieve US long term growth rates. The basic infrastructure of 21st C commerce is American: payment systems, e-commerce platforms, web services, advertising, digital production. It all means £££ > 🇺🇸

If the Twitter thought police at the time hadn’t deleted my tweets and shadow-banned me for having the temerity to express this very opinion, I’d be RTing them now. All those who shouted the likes of me down: hang your heads in shame.

No. I don’t believe it. It’s a wind up. What?? The Councillor who let Reeves off for being an unlicensed landlord was, himself, an unlicensed landlord and has had to resign his position. Someone please make it stop!

Way to provide economic incentives for a carousel of illegal immigration recidivism. Plainly people will come and go and repeatedly collect cheques as they do so. It’s got to the stage where you have to ask whether this government actively trying to bankrupt us now.

This. Those of us from the working classes who have achieved success in professional milieux will recognise well, and disdain deeply, this attitude. How very dare they? There are those in the commentariat with whom I used to work who are among its highest priests. Damn them.

Been sharing this post a lot lately, because it is very important indeed. And here is the proof I am right. This alarmingly unproductive public sector now accounts for almost half of our GDP. Only by freeing ourselves of government waste can we return economic success to Britain.
