Hate brigade are hell-bent on destroying Britain’s economy
WHAT a shower of charlatans, hatemongers and incompetents...
Despite everything we know, the Tories at Westminster still manage to shock us.
Last weekend, Boris Johnson said the Prime Minister had “wrapped a suicide vest” around Britain and “handed the detonator” to Brussels.
What an offensive comment from someone who until a few weeks ago held one of the highest offices in the land.
The fact that Johnson is a buffoon is hardly news, but he is also dangerous.
His ambition to seize the power at Number 10 is plain to see, and he won’t stop until he gets his chance. The prospect of a Johnson-led government doesn’t bear thinking about.
We’d be pulling up the drawbridge, abandoning the most vulnerable in society and cosying up to Donald Trump.
Perhaps the only thing worse would be a government led by Jacob Rees-Mogg.
The Tory backbencher is now openly talking up the prospect of a no-deal Brexit. In the face of every expert analysis available, he is backing research published today which claims this disastrous scenario could actually help Britain’s economy. I prefer to deal in hard facts. Our economy is growing at its slowest rate for years, lagging behind other western countries as we pay the price for Tory austerity and the looming threat of Brexit.
A no-deal Brexit – where we fall back on World Trade Organisation tariffs – will hit Gross Domestic Product by nearly nine per cent.
It says a lot about Theresa May’s premiership that her backbenchers hold such sway in her party. As many as 80 Tory MPs are prepared to vote against the PM’s Chequers plan, it was reported yesterday. The Chequers deal was always
INCREASING workers’ productivity is vital in any attempts to get sustained economic growth. The old belief was that it simply involved making workers do longer hours.
However, that can decrease productivity as staff become too exhausted and demotivated, leading to increased absence rates.
It won’t always be possible, but the Trades Union Congress’s calls for a four-day working week deserve to be listened to.
unworkable, and May has managed the impressive feat of producing something that satisfies neither eurosceptics nor europhiles.
It’s dead in the water, despite the claims from a handful of Tory MPs put in front of the media to desperately support the PM.
It’s going to be a very messy Conservative Party conference next week.
Last year, you couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for May as she struggled through her speech with a cough, was interrupted by a prankster and the sign behind her fell apart. This year, there will be little sympathy. Brexit is fewer than 200 days away and the deadline for a deal is approaching fast.
I can already hear the shouts from SNP supporters claiming the way out of this sorry mess is independence, as if tearing up a successful 300-year-old union is the solution to dealing with one incompetent government that we can, and must, remove at the next election.
The solution is to stop a hard Brexit that nobody voted for.
The demands for a People’s Vote are deafening. The trade union movement is now behind the proposal to give voters a say on the final deal.
We have a prime minister in office, but not in power. That’s why power should be in the hands of the people.
