Our Plan for Change will drive economic growth right across the country, putting more money in people's pockets.

What they are not telling you them pockets have holes in them that lead back straight back to the Chancellors coffers

I do not think there is an area of the UK plc that she Grinch Reeves has not Fecked

To top it all of the civil servants are asking for only 3 days work in the office .

Another lot of greedy Feck wits

The boss helming a rapid expansion at India's flag-carrier airline has warned that the UK could miss out on a boom in demand for flights from the sub-continent - thanks to Rachel Reeves' Budget tax raids. Campbell Wilson, who took over running Air India in 2022, told the Mail that increases in air passenger duty (APD) would be 'in the back of our minds' as the airline assessed its route plans for the years ahead. It follows fierce criticism of the Chancellor from other airline bosses after she unveiled plans to increase the rate of APD, a tax charged on all passenger flights from British airports.

British housebuilders must be put 'on a war footing' if the industry is to have any hope of developing the 1.5m new homes targeted by Labour within five years, according to industry experts.

Hurdles to hitting the 'extremely optimistic' goal set by Keir Starmer include staff shortages, high interest rates, small builders going bust and lack of materials.

Labour has vowed to rip up the 'broken' planning system in the biggest shake up of the rules for a generation so 300,000 homes can be built every year of this Parliament.

Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has unveiled plans to allow more homes to be built on green belt land and impose mandatory targets on councils. But the overhaul has faced a backlash from campaigners and local authorities, who said the figures were not achievable.

And experts in the sector said planning rules are not the only major challenge.

The UK housebuilding sector has endured a turbulent year as high interest rates deter buyers. Shares across the industry have tumbled in recent months as hopes of a building boom fade.

N yet another sign of the crisis on the High Street, insolvency specialist Begbies Traynor said 2,124 retailers were in 'critical financial distress', up 25pc on the previous quarter, according to the group's Red Flag Alert report. The alarming figures came a day after the Mail reported that more than 8,500 stores had closed down this year with the loss of 130,000 jobs. Industry experts warn worse is to come in 2025 as the sector faces a £7bn rise in the cost of doing business following the Budget

Israel unleashed an aerial assault on Thursday against parts of Yemen controlled by the Houthi rebel group, stoking concerns about more potential instability in the oil-rich region.

But that wasn't the only development impacting prices.

"In addition to the deteriorating geopolitical landscape in the oil-sensitive region of the Middle East, this week's API report had shown a sizeable 3.2-million-barrel draw in U.S. commercial crude oil stockpiles last week, which was another tailwind for oil prices," said Tom Essaye, founder and president of Sevens Report Research, in emailed commentary.

More UK retailers in 'critical financial distress' amidst sliding consumer confidence since Budget

Insolvency specialist Begbies Traynor revealed 2,124 UK retailers were in 'critical financial distress' between the start of October and 16 December, compared to 1,696 in the prior three months. It said companies that provided retail sales via mail order, as well as takeaway food shops and mobile food stands were particularly affected.

I thought the Cons were bad enough answering a Questions side stepping them

But Labour are Top of the Premier League when Questions are put to them .

Are Robbing the Workers

Is that not what they used to do in the 18th century take the wealth from workers & X amount of cattle, pigs , wheat from farmers as a tax .Till there was a uprising .

So the Santa rally never appeared

No the Grinch Reeves stopped this years rally

The solution is you need to get all the work shy back in employment.

The UK is full of them then add how much is the New boat loads costing UK plc.

Happening quickcer than i thought

I'm sure it's the interaction between China's economy and the threat of Trump's tariffs that's behind this retreat in commodities.

Could not agree more .

Problem is when Trump was in last time he slapped extra tariffs on China when China did not stick to Trumps deal

So hoping this time around China will have learnt Trump is not a person to mess with

Add all the immigrants getting free health treatment and free translators then you wonder how on earth is the NHS in a mess!

My brother was unwell in Italy so went to the Doctors had to pay 20 euro to see him & then pay for the pills.

If you have not contributed in the UK you should pay upfront like i'm sure most Eu countries charge
