Gawain, is Farage, Jenrick et al aware of this as you and the City are?

Are they really prepared to do what's necessary?

Because this will make the IMF bailout in 1976 and Cameron Osborne austerity 2010-2015 look like a picnic in comparison.

I’m so pleased to learn this ,my energy firm has just switched to E on,previously it was OVO ,(the swine who runs it bought up the Roof gardens where I used to lunch and indeed where my aunt and mother used to have tea whilst my Aunt was organising for the National Front).Their call centres are based in South Africa and whilst dealing with them ,as much as I'm used to dealing with Africans ,they speak English but don't understand http://it.Si

I'm sure Robert Jenrick is on to it .After all Dirty Des would have saved millions thanks to Mr Jenrick when he was a conservative minister,which he would have invested in Dubai where he’s now based .In our leaders we trust .

Absolutely cracking article!

I subscribe completely to what you describe, although I was unaware of the relatively low hanging fruit for £25b that the article describes.

I have not been a betting man since 1976 when a couple of Texans taught me how to play poker.

😏

However, were I still a gambler, I’d have five hundred quid we shall have to endure the crisis.

Because Starmer / Reeves will not break the glass, nor will any of the other socialist loons presently (nominally) in charge.

And in any event, I believe that ‘entitlement Britain’ needs to learn a hard lesson, the hard way.

I am a ~ 40 year ex UK retail FS person…degree level professional qualifications…. Debt is anathema to me personally … I have thought for a long time that the UK is heading for a Greek style financial crisis which will, if it occurs, I fear cause very difficult, unique in these islands and socially devastating issues for many…people may have to face a scenario of welfare hairshirts, that will cause severe economic conditions never seen in the UK - at least in the short term …. I hope not … sterling may collapse, UK debt interest may come under pressure… markets will be very volatile ..credit rating downgrade inevitable….four + decades of crass political decisions will collapse this house of cards at warp speed … EMU a picnic … your take on this …after this document gets any public traction???

Curious that rather radical proposals on welfare are seen alongside a fairly meek extension to the net zero deadline, rather than abolition of the concept.

I see Robert Jenrick’s wife acted for someone called Ullmann recently and accepted a £40k donation for his campaign to become Tory Leader (Had he done so I doubt he'd have joined Reform).It appears according to The Times the money came from a Gary http://Klopfenstein.No wonder Jenrick was described as a grifter recently.I dare say he could teach NF a few tricks.

Brilliant article. Our rising debt to GDP has been my main concern from Gordon Browns £720 billion (there no money left treasury note). To Camerons £1.3 Trillion. To the current £3 Trillion. Once it reaches £4 Trillion we are in big, serious trouble. Inflation and government default.
