So Sunak thinks the IMF are brilliant! A predicted 0.4% rise in GDP does not sound particularly brilliant to me. Food inflation at 19+% and with interest rates rising we, well most of us, are worse off. Energy costs will fall but for how long? (Qatar thinks not long!). Labour shortages continue yet nigration figures are higher than ever – again Sunak goes for the easy target – students: Foreign students pay exorbitant fees and contribute to university funds in a big way, but Braverman and Sunak are happy to sacrifice this income for their own political gain. If the total migration figures can come down they will be chuffed – whatever the cost to the economy in general.
Coffey says we should get into the fields to pick crops – I enjoyed doing that as a teenager (underage as 14 was the limit and I think I was 12!), I earned a few bob and was happy until Ann Richmond who. had got me the job told me off for looking so young and staring at people)! But 4 hour picking sessions for teenagers could be used?
