"The green economy is growing fast about 3x faster than the wider economy but its not whats dragging the rest down. The real drags on growth are flat productivity underinvestment and a housing and energy crisis decades in the making. Green subsidies are a cost yes but theyre also an investment in future energy security and jobs" @HowToFix_UK on X 2025-07-20 09:57:35 UTC XXX followers, XXX engagements
"Theres no doubt immigration has become a defining issue and that public trust in the system has been badly eroded over time. People want controlled fair migration that works for the country not chaotic systems political doublespeak or false promises. Thats not racist its common sense. But we must be careful.

"Debt to GDP alone doesnt show if a countrys living beyond its means it shows weve underinvested in growth. The UK has had low investment weak productivity and rising costs thats why debt has grown not just spending. If wed invested wisely (in energy housing skills) GDP would be higher and the ratio lower. The real question isnt how much are we spending Its what are we getting for it Right now: not enough" @HowToFix_UK on X 2025-07-20 22:04:43 UTC XXX followers, XX engagements

"@WarMonitor3 Strengthening Ukraines defences is important but how about strengthening the UK too Our armed forces are underfunded. Our borders are weak. Our own streets dont feel safe.

"Fair point on needing a transition but wheres the urgency Other countries are scaling up nuclear and renewables. Were still arguing about the basics.

"If true this raises serious questions about local financial oversight regardless of which party was in charge. But lets also be clear: bond values can fluctuate with interest rates and dont always mean realised losses unless sold.
