Well, I think that the energy argument is the key to everything else, as I have said previously. The direct link between energy consumption and booming economies is there for all to see.

There is actually more meat on the bones of your rant, than there is in all of Reform's policy documents, which are basically drivel

Its really so fucking simple (excuse my language) you have to build the foundations before you start pontificating on populist rehashed bollocks.

This means cut taxes, scrap Net Zero and cut welfare.

Saint Augustine got it right back in around 400 AD when he wrote:-

" Do you wish to rise?

Begin by descending.

You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds?

Lay first the foundations of humility."

Or in simple terms growth is not a straight upward dash; it begins with self-awareness, admitting what you do not know, and serving others instead of chasing status.

I agree 100% with this one. The first thing is energy policy, as you say. Without cheap and abundant energy, not much can achieved. “Net Zero” has to go. Also the idea that the economy can be sustained only through financial and other services is ridiculous. The North needs to become an economic powerhouse as it once was.

The Covid ‘vaccine’ left large numbers, probably millions of people in poor health.

To increase the availability of healthy people requires a fundamental change inthe NHS including removing blocks on drugs like Ivermectin and mebendazol for treating cancers and serrapeptase for easing arthritis (and aiding blood thinning).

There are also aids to reducing the effects of MrNA that have not been tested.

The pharmaceutical industry should have responsibility for checking drugs removed as they have no incentive to approve drugs that can’t make money for them and may impede their profits if approved.

Nevertheless, the actual workforce is more than sufficient, without migrant labour, to fill all vacancy’s.

If we meet the standards of efficiency provided by Singapores workforce, half the UK workforce (which is 34.5 million) could be re purposed.

Clearly we don’t need migrant Labour, what we need is training (proper training) of the workforce we have.

By the way a huge amount of high grade fertiliser is being mined in Yorkshire. If used as a national asset it could be used solely for UK farms, thus resolving any problem.

Love the mention of Castleford! But noticed that nothing covers Newcastle or Sunderland? Are these port cities “doing alright”? And how would they be affected by a regenerated Hull and Teesside?
