The anti-growth coalition

This is the new enemy.

Or anyone, or anything, that does not agree with Government policy.

Not believing on Government policy is what is holding this country back.

Apparently.

Growth is everything. Growth. Growth. Growth.

But with hundreds of thousands of vacancies in several sectors, and immigration of really helpful workers to be reduced even further, it is such shortages that lead to stagflation, a lack of growth caused by an unproductive economy.

The one wayimprove growth would be to rejoin the EU SM and CU and allow immigration of things like fruit pickers, care home workers, baristas and so on, before our standard of living falls behind the countries so that to come and work here, when that is allowed, it would mean accepting a lower standard of living here than at home. Which is what it will mean by end of the year for places like Estonia.

Saying the only way to increase growth is to scrap retained EU laws on the environment, working hours and so on is ignoring the biggest and easiest changes that could be made.

But that would be untrue to the pure belief of Brexit.

So, we must have shit in our rivers and beaches, build on what's left of our meadows, work even longer hours at two or more jobs if we want to eat and heat our homes, because the easiest path is domatically unfaithful to the one true Brexit.

As always, Brexit is coming up against reality, but rather than look at the root cause, its treating the symptoms. And this will not change until real adults take up resience in Downing Street. Meanwhile, in less than a month, Truss is the least popular PM since records began, and has wiped £300 billion of the value of the economy.

Its more of them being anti-reality than the rest of us being anti-growth.
