In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 that they promised “the highest economic growth in the G7” alongside the “green transition” merely served to prove they didn’t have the slightest idea what transitioning to a sustainable economy actually means
I’m not remotely surprised by this news as it’s just more evidence they are a disaster. While I held little hope, I desperately wanted them to succeed as the alternative is horrific. But they are far, far worse than I ever imagined possible
@Simon318ppm
Yes, the fact that they might be able to square the circle by looking at a green transition as a Keynisian pump priming exercise seems to have escaped them, but that's because they are invested in an economics of 'growth' underpinned by financial services' interests...

In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 one of the many reasons why making “the highest growth in the G7” and rocket-boosting productivity as the sine qua non of government policy so utterly brainless
That this is all underwritten by their continued unshakable adherence to the fantasy that “wealth-creators” drive universal prosperity so refusing to address obscene excess wealth and inequality, the principle failings of 🇬🇧 economy, just makes the roll-out of the red carpet for the far right a certainty IMO
