Economic Growth — 14 Nov 2023 at 18:37

“but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech fails to include legislative proposals to prevent a repeat of the economic fallout from the September 2022 Growth Plan, by amending the Budget Responsibility and National Audit Act 2011 to give the Office for Budget Responsibility the power to produce and publish forecasts for any Government fiscal event which includes tax and spending decisions with long-term effects over a threshold to be specified in a new Charter for Budget Responsibility.”
“The King’s Speech opened with an aspiration to increase economic growth-but it failed to outline how that will happen.”
“wouldn’t necessarily bring energy bills down”,
“backing the builders not the blockers”.
“harm the openness of the green belt”
“With regards to the beaches in your constituency, we totally agree that huge improvements have been made to water quality there”.
“lost the will to lead”
“nothing in this for the public”.
“punitive, mean-spirited, and often callous”
“He will judge between many peoples and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide. They will beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war any more. Everyone will sit under their own vine and under their own fig-tree”.
“The UK is stuck in a Conservative doom loop”-
“low growth, terrible living standards, and repeated doses of austerity.”
“necessarily bring energy bills down”.
“a stitch-up between large, distant institutions and large, distant corporations.”
“Initially, our monthly rent was at a reasonable level, but we were shocked when our landlord proposed a substantial rent increase of £450 extra per month…As law-abiding citizens who diligently pay our taxes, we find ourselves in a bewildering and unjust situation. It is disheartening to see individuals and families, who were once stable in their homes, being pushed into homelessness or temporary accommodation due to these unreasonable rent increases.”
“uncertain, weak, and lacking in the qualities of leadership that this country needs.”
