The war in Iran has created a reset of not just relationships in the Middle East, but society generally. So start with NATO – Trump has contempt for it; firstly he threatens to invade Greenland (Danish) and then gets in a sulk over the lack of support for his illegal war. So the UK and Europe now need to get their acts together to form a European Alliance with Europpean weapons (we wait to see if Hungary will join with the EU or spin out to Russia?
Secondly there needs a to be a surcharge on all firms, that avoids tax evasion, and forces them to pay towards the infra-structure that they benefit from. Whilst they can claim to contribute to the NHS via N.I. Employer contributions, their tax avoidance means they contribute nothing to other government expenditure. e.g. Amazon uses the roads, vast amounts of electricity and contributes – FA.
Thirdly political funding. Trump supporters have raised about 3X the Democrats for the mid-term elections. It is similar here with the rich contributing to Farages lies and Labour being bankrolled by the unions. Whilst I appreciate that the union contribution may balance the rich boys club – neither should be allowed. Adverts should have to be factually accurate, etc.
Fourthly – the cost of living. I am retired and my mortgage paid off – no problem. The real problem is the cost of housing. Rent controls would reduce the number of investors in property and bring down rents – this would result in reduced mortgages.
