Starmer's vision quest

[AndyRM]

I would be a legal immigrant, able to pay my way, have health insurance, enough income so not to make any claim on their social state.

At the price of depriving this green and pleasant land of your taxes?

For shame, sir.

But he is not brown so he will be an expat, not an immigrant.

Sky news goes online only. Albeit confirming they have gone bust as a terrestrial news broadcaster in the UK

They're planning going behind a paywall in a few years time-thatll work

7 months into this Government and they are only now telling us how they are going to deliver growth. One can't help but wonder if they ever had this growth plan they keep talking about.

And Eurosport closing in the UK. Any live cycling will move from being in the basic deal to the more expensive package on Discovery +.

You do wonder that there is enough advertising and subscription money to go round the scores of channels available. I think more will go under.

I left the UK 11 years ago and I’ve never called myself an expat.

An economic migrant, yes.

This is true. But he would fleeing the terror and destruction of his homeland, forced out by vile foreign invaders.

Can't your millionaire family members help him?

Does he need to stop eating avacados and cancel Netflix instead?

He has to stand on his own two feet.My daughter will become wealthy when we gift our wealth to them and Uber wealthy upon our death. We have already mitigated inheritance liability with careful planning

Regulations (and their enforcement) are there to protect real people from harm from business which is only interested in their shareholder dividends/profits. We've seen what happens without them eg our rivers are turned into open sewers and not from just one rogue company. Trash regulations means trashing protections and allowing harm to the population from business interested only in £££££.

Planning is a system of scrutiny to ensure long term development is appropriate and in the interests of the population (rather than profits for developers). It is important to check that eg infrastructure is appropriate for a development eg that it wont cause undue irreversible damage to the environment etc. I take a fair interest in local planning (on several occasions attending and speaking at Planning Committee Meetings). Delays are invariably due to developers failing to address issues with their proposal, or failing to agree eg affordable housing or infrastructure upgrades to support their development. Reducing the scrutiny is removing what few protections there are against damaging development and thus harming the lives and environment of real people.

I'm disappointed that our Government is now ignoring the interests of the public instead pushing everything in the interests of business profits and the impacts will be long term and often irrevocable.
