Rishi Sunak

Rishi Sunak's rise to premier, came after the Liz Truss fiasco, who in turn followed one of the biggest bullshit merchants in British political history, a confirmed liar, making a living from making it up as you go along, even as a columnist. And now the Daily Mail, paying him for more of the same, does not bode well for that newspaper, except perhaps, where their readers may enjoy Alice in Wonderland reporting. We'll have to wait and see what they allow him to write.

As for Rishi, he appears to be the current captain of a sinking UK economy, and a country in deep shit debt wise, having failed to grapple with rising inflation and national debts. It looks to many aggrieved pensioners and first time house buyers, like more of the same 'bullshit' promises that Boris Bojo Johnson is famous for.

It is possible that the country is too far gone, to prevent a Titanic sinking.

GB NEWS 4 JULY 2023 - RISHI SUNAK'S DISMAL FAILURE ON EVERY PRIORITY LAID BARE AS PM FACES DIRE POLLING

Rishi Sunak implored the public to judge him on five priorities for 2023, nailing his colours to the mast on inflation, economic growth, national debt, NHS waiting lists and small boat Channel crossings.

But exactly six months on from when Sunak made his New Year resolutions, the Prime Minister is yet to produce results.

The Conservatives have felt the faltering faith the latest Ipsos polling data, which has Labour at 47 per cent and Conservatives at 25 per cent of the vote, while Deltapoll finds Labour at 48 per cent with Conservatives on 25 per cent.

Amid growing pressure from voters and backbench Conservative MPs, Sunak knows he has work to do if he is to turn around his party's electoral fortunes.

1. “We will halve inflation this year to ease the cost of living and give people financial security.”

At the time of Sunak’s pledge in January 2023, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) stood at 10.1 per cent.

By May 2023 this figure remained sticky at 8.7 per cent, which was unchanged from April.

While food inflation has come down slightly, though remaining high at 18.3 per cent, economists are concerned about stubbornly high core inflation, which has risen to 7.1 per cent, the highest annual rate increase since March 1992.

2. “We will grow the economy, creating better-paid jobs and opportunity right across the country.”

While the UK has avoided recession so far, the economy grew by just 0.1 per cent in the first quarter of 2023 according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

According to the OECD, GDP growth is expected to hover around a modest 0.3 per cent growth in 2023.

While UK GDP in Q1 was 0.5 per cent lower than pre-pandemic level, the Eurozone GDP was 2.2 per cent higher than its pre-pandemic level.

The United States, Canada and Japan also all grew faster than the UK.

3. “We will make sure our national debt is falling so that we can secure the future of public services.”

The UK's net debt has reached £2.6trillion as of the end of May, which is estimated at 100.1 per cent of the UK's entire gross domestic product (GDP), the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has confirmed.

It is the first time the debt-to-GDP ratio has risen above 100 per cent since March 1961.

Government borrowing soared year-on-year to £20billion in May to cope with substantial spending on energy support schemes, inflation-linked payments and interest payments on debt.

Borrowing in May was £10.7billion higher than a year ago and comes in as the second-highest May borrowing since monthly records began in 1993.

4. “NHS waiting lists will fall and people will get the care they need more quickly.”

Waiting list for hospital treatment stood at a record of 7.21 million in January 2023, according to the British Medical Association (BMA).

This has since risen to 7.42 million in April 2023.

Nearly 3.09 million of these patients waiting over 18 weeks and around 371,000 of these patients are waiting over a year for treatment – which is around 292 times as many as in March 2019, before the pandemic began.

5. “We will pass new laws to stop small boats, making sure that if you come to this country illegally, you are detained and swiftly removed.”

A record 45,728 crossed the English Channel in small boats last year.

As of 18 June, GB News reported that the number of migrants crossing had reached 10,349.

Our concerns are that as and when (not if) Labour swing into the captain's chair, will they have policies to hand to stage any kind of a fight again the above issues, and climate change.

FOSSIL FOOLS - Geriatric politicians with 'climate-senile' policies will find in difficult to break away from their corrupt ways, as part time politicians with two jobs. Their main job being to find paid consultancy work, rather than craft policies and create statute that works to protect our voters from lung cancer, energy shortages and a lack of affordable (sustainable) housing.

The 'zerophobics' are the undertakers of the political world, sending millions of ordinary people to an early grave, while loading us with NHS, hospital and staff costs that would not be needed if we had clean air in our cities.

Basically, the longer you are in politics, the more likely you are to be exposed to bribes, from climate deniers, mostly fossil fuel and energy companies, looking to keep on pumping toxic fumes into the atmosphere, so they can keep making money. The political undertakers are working with them to keep hospitals stocked with cancer victims, adding to the £Trillions we owe as part of the national debt. Under Boris and Rishi Sunack, pensioner's saving have halved in real terms. They are blood sucking vampires, draining what little you had saved for your retirement.

SIX (SUGGESTED) STEPS TOWARD A COOLER PLANET

1. TRANSPORT: Phase out polluting vehicles. Governments aim to end the sale of new petrol, and diesel vehicles by 2040 but have no infrastructure plan to support such ambition. Marine transport can be carbon neutral. Zero carbon shipping is gaining ground with offshore solar boat racers reaching 35knots (Delft University @ Monaco 2019). The first solar powered circumnavigation record was set in 2012 by PlanetSolar. That record could be halved by another contender on the drawing board.

2. RENEWABLES:  Renewable energy should replace carbon-based fuels (coal, oil and gas) in our electricity, heating and transport. We are well on the way to that with solar and wind power now price competitive to fossil fuels.

3. HOUSING: On site micro or macro generation is the best option, starting with new build homes that are affordable and built of wood for improved insulation and carbon lock. New units might not need planning consents if energy self-sufficient, or very nearly so. Planning consents should be struck for genuinely affordable/sustainable housing and self builds where cost is below £50,000. See letter to Nus Ghani July 2019.

4. AGRICULTURE: We need trees to absorb carbon emissions from a growing population, flying, and to build new homes. Reducing food waste and promoting less energy intensive eating habits such as no meat Mondays.

5. INDUSTRY: Factories should be aiming for solar heating and onsite renewable energy generation. This could be done simply by making it a 106 type (mitigation) condition of new builds that they include solar heating and photovoltaic panels. Too many units were built in the last 3 years without climate friendly features, such as EV charging points.

6. POLITICS: - National governing bodies need to adopt rules to eliminate administrative wastages, restrain local authority empire building, scale down spending on war machines, educate the public and support sustainable social policies that mesh with other cultures transparently. Ban kleptocratic policies. Open your doors to transparency and a new era of honest politics. Local authorities are famous for finding the loopholes to keep on doing favours for mates. Simply close those loopholes with binding statute. Any gray areas should be made black and white in writing. Even then councils will break the law, so introduce a task force to prosecute offending local authorities..
