We can….there is nothing stopping us from returning illegal immigrants to any country, if we so wish. Show me any law, domestic or international, that says we can’t.
Not the ECHR, which we should ditch anyway.

The GFC certainly gave us a hammering which has taken a long time to recover from. There has been growth though.

no there hasn’t.
0.1 here, -0.2 there, +0.2 again …….is not growth, it’s stagnation. Mad immigration has been used to provide the illusion of growth, but there has been no growth for nearly two decades.

We'd all like lower taxes on everything but someone has to pay the bills but politicians being honest and asking taxpayers to stump on don't tend to get elected.

Well there’s the point, wise men plant trees to provide the shade they know they’ll never sit under.

On planning, the current government at least is easing up development restrictions as we've seen with its support for airport expansion.

Bollocks, words, may never happen. If even given the green light I’ll probably be dead before Heathrow gets another runway. Planning power resides with the local councils, unless a national policy, such as permitted development rights, is implemented…..nothing changes.

Energy prices were hammered by the Ukraine invasion but as we become more energy independent through renewables, nuclear and better storage facilities, it should start to come down. Joining the EU energy trading arrangements would help here too.

You can have Net Zero, or you can have Growth…….not both.
We are not energy independent through renewables, if we were we wouldn’t have built 3 new cables between the U.K. and Norway, Denmark and Belgium in addition to the ones with France and Holland to import power from Europe.
