Open schools at weekends and evenings: run separate send classes for the kids using send teacher staff who cannot attend mainstream. That way you don't need new infrastructure and you can re- integrate children who as they mature, back into mainstream where possible

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.

I think the economic argument is irrelevant. Beside the benefits being obvious, if the Democrats fail to win, then a united Europe is vital to the UK's interests both economic and security.
The idea that we can float free and prosper is ludicrous.

By joining a CU with EU, it could mitigate by up to 2.2% x GDP, while the FTA with India is worth between 0.12-0.22% x GDP, in the long run! Wow! In terms of the Septics, I've not actually read/heard any quantifiable value of the trade deal with the US, other than mitigating tariffs on steel/cars.

He also does not isolate exactly what he thinks is wrong. This "that no Uk government has ever done"? What's that then.
I'd have thought the original building of the NHS and welfare state, state pensions were really really really big that had never been done before.
