"Reeves bangs on about “hard-wiring growth into every Cabinet decision" yet destroys it with every decision she takes. The Chancellor is a one-woman growth destruction machine, and here’s the latest example.

Pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca is literally the UK's biggest company. Yesterday, it withdrew plans for a £450million expansion of its vaccine manufacturing plant in Speke, Merseyside."

Good let them find their own funding.

....And pretend we haven't lost loads of new jobs and a boost to the local economy.

The woman is completely out of her depth - and dragging the rest of us down to drown with her.

The Tories offered them 90 million towards the 450 million. Labour wanted to halve that. Very short-sighted, the 90 million would have been quickly recovered from the taxes the additional jobs would have produced.

AZ didnt have any problems producing billions of vaccines during the pandemic with the space they alread have, so make do with what you have because less and less people want the covid vaccine anymore. Theres always dome company trying it on for funding fof this and that. Tuff. This government is keeping the purse strings shut to blackmail of any kind.

[newmodarmy]

You haveno8dea how the economy works, how companies make financial decisions and how governments often try to oil the wheels to help investment. 

[nicebloke1]

Oh, and they always come up with the same excuse/ reason, JOBS. poppycock.

[nicebloke1]

A few more million would no doubt end up in the pockets of doddgy suppliers I guess. Now who on earth gave me that idea. :0))

[newmodarmy]

Yes. Clueless. Do you think the people of Speke, desperate for jobs, are as pleased as you are?

[nicebloke1]

Michelle Mone might be interested in investing, shes got a few million floating around, around and around.

NB1 is a nasty piece of work - thinks it's good that Reeves is destroying job prospects.

[nicebloke1]

Ha ha nasty because I dont hold your views, whats new? Like I said these big companies all use the same excuse to get their grubby little hands on millions of government money. Lets tell everyone its wrecking job prospects for thousands of people. Like i said poppycock. And i couldnt care to hoots what you think of me dave. OK so fire away with ( your poppycock also) :0))

I don't think it's fair to call NB nasty for his opinion, but what is fair, and is entirely correct, is to call him out for his breathtaking naivety on anything economics-wise and his unswerving support for what by any objective measure is a Government ill-prepared for Government and completely out of their depth.

 

This was a poster who said Rachel from accounts' budget was "The greatest budget ever".

 

Frankly, if anybody is naive enough to think it was the greatest budget ever and the Government are doing a good job should be pitied and not pilloried. 

[nicebloke1]

Yet another poster who believes that their opinion is far superior, so self righteous indeed. Next up anyone?

[Deskdiary]

Yes, that's my opinion of your inanity; you may not like it but that's the opinion I've formed from your posts. 

[nicebloke1]

Like I've said also many times, I couldnt care a rats ****? what you think.

[Ryzen]

Ahhh...the arrogance of ignorance :-)

[nicebloke1]

Love it, keep it coming.

[Deskdiary]

Nicebloke - do you still think it was "The greatest budget ever"?

[nicebloke1]

God good you still up, take a nice cup of hot chocolate up to bed and get your head down.
