About time – cross-party talks on Brexit failures https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/feb/11/revealed-secret-cross-party-summit-held-to-confront-failings-of-brexit
In the context of Truss demanding tax cuts this is another twist in the narrative of this government. Perhaps Gove sees himself as a Tudor style king maker!
Farmers are complaining that only 0.44% of money allocated for Post-Brexit funds has been paid. We need viable farms with environmental responsibility to be thriving – otherwise the developers will take over. Has anyone done a long term projection of the UK population, its demography and the need for new housing? It seems to me that the need for new housing is based upon economics not physical need.
Education – 40% of year 6 children will not hit required levels. Perhaps the government needs to act now. The best teachers in the early stages are their parents. Fund child care where parents have to work. And support those who struggle – provide library sessions and cooking ones too. If the figure is true it makes the job of later year teachers impossible.
NHS – recent reports about outsourcing to cut waiting lists suggests corruption.
