But the EU of 2024 is very different from 2016 with the advance of far right parties

Yep, if you are going to cut back immigration in an ageing society with a diminishing working age population you are going to have some pretty harsh consequences

Flip side of that though is that more than a decade of near zero interest rates fuelled an asset boom, boosted the capital of the already very wealthy and pushed housing out of the reach of many

Would hope that there would be a way of stopping farm land being bought as an asset by non- farmers to avoid inheritance tax, without adversely affecting working farmers

With an ageing population, demographics are going to be against the rates of growth in the west that we had in previous decades. If we don’t make use of technology like this, we as a society will struggle

IMHO the day of the private car has to be numbered and replacing fossil fuel cars with EVs without changing patterns of ownership and use won’t achieve climate objectives. (I say this with a tinge of regret as an enthusiast driver)

Interesting perspective. And of course who has and has not access to off street parking which can easily be used for charging has a big social element.

Stunning!

Yep, would love to get some centre right voices on blue sky too
