Reeves defends China visit, hails £600m UK investment over next 5 yrs.
What?
Can get £100bn boost by joining the EU
HMRC failed to collect £500bn tax since 2010
Can boost economy by equitable distribution of income/wealth, but not on govt agenda.
Need policy change

/or, its a matter of whats important to a failing economy. 600m, will not materially affect anything at all. In fact its a tear in the rain.
UK could sort every financial problem:
- Tax wealth
- Close “Ancient Trusts” that protect the *real* assets of the English Hereditary Aristocracy
- Crack open the stolen cash in UK Dominion Tax and Secrecy Havens
Having said that in a time of shifting political sands, the reality is, China is now the industrial hegemone.
Labour announced they will chase unpaid tax in the budget

"That's peanuts!"
Independence is often taken, not given.
There will definitely be a lot of work needed for Scotland to become an EU member. Joining the Euro instead of using the pound will not be easy.
That being said, I am sure that Scotland still has goodwill in the EU system.
The lack of imagination, spirit, nerve and drive bothers me.
I appreciate they are doing things and hope they're building up to the really big changes, but they're never taking Daily Mail readers with them.
Can we not work towards both.
Rejoining the eu is not a quick thing

They're severing undersea cables.
They supply the fentanyl going into the US. That's confirmed.
Regular cyber attacks.
The CCP assassinates their own character and that of their country.
Who claimed they severed cables? On what evidence? Paranoia doesn't count/
Nordstream, on the other hand ...

No?
Righty ho!
Ever noticed "benefits" are aggregated; £600 billion over next 5k yrs, behold the efforts of our "economist" chancellor.
Not poxy £120 million/yr
While we're busy sending gunboats to teach China a lesson & tell them to watch their Ps and Qs 👍
SMH
No need to add fuel to the demise of the planet.

They are not equipped to cope with this mess we find ourselves in.
We can disgagee on issues but still engage in other areas. Not doing so only hurts us today but in the future. Our Global influence has significantly wained, we need China much more than they need us.
We only talk about the inward flow.
There are side benefits but it's not cracked up what it's meant to be.
🤣
