Just listening to R4, spend per head is down. Making the point we’re a low tax economy, only 30% of GDP compared to France or Denmark which are 50%.

I think that figure is skewed by factor's like infrastructure initiatives being applied through end user levies and to their consumer bill's rather than front loaded.

Should ruffle a few feathers.

How the U.K. Became One of the Poorest Countries in Western Europe

Britain chose finance over industry, austerity over investment, and a closed economy over openness to the world.

I've linked it before but worth reposting.
Problem is, the people who need it as a wake up call will refuse to acknowledge its spot on.

That was his defence when he was getting asked about Eustatces questioning of it in parliament. Said it was all going great then all of a sudden no one could say it was bad because it wasn’t in force yet. The guy is clueless.

No point questioning stuff like this - as I’ve always said, you can’t reason people out of positions they didn’t reason themselves into.

Is this as it looks? They want to get rid of equal pay rights and the right to normal pay when you're on holiday?

Yes it amazing how much harm the Lexitors have done to employment rights. The unions who supported it really did betray their members.

Yet again showing how stupid you are, the left case for brexit is

1. No compulsory privatisation of public services
2. Ability to elect a government that has full control over all legislation enacted in the UK

Surely you've got faith that Keir Starmer and his forthcoming Labour government shall not only keep the best elements of current employment law but also improve them in favour of workers?

No I am not confident that Starmer would bring back the employment protections that we will lose because of Brexit. It would take decades of Labour Governments to get those back, which is exactly why we needed the certainty of being part of the EU.

The point of Brexit for the Tories was deregulation and abolishing employment rights. The nonsense about sovereignty and the nationalism and xenophobia was just for the 'plebs' so they would vote against their best interests. I would rather have EU law protections than having the Tories having full control of our laws.
