"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"

"Great questions and important ones 👇 💷 Government spending isnt zero-sum it can grow the economy if its productive. But where its spent and how efficiently matters. 🏦 UK debt is mostly owed to pension funds banks insurance firms and even the Bank of England via QE. So in a way we owe it to ourselves. 📅 And yes the government spends before it taxes it creates money first then taxes later to manage inflation and demand. The key issue is whether that spending builds value or just props up failure" @HowToFix_UK on X 2025-07-19 15:20:20 UTC XXX followers, XX 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. If anger spills into dehumanisation lawlessness or collective blame we lose the very principles were trying to defend. The real challenge isnt just numbers its building a long-term plan for population housing skills and security.

"Inflation isnt just a UK problem its a global trend driven by energy shocks supply chains and war. But youre right to ask questions. If inflation is rising despite a slowdown it points to deeper issues: a fragile economy low productivity and decades of poor planning not just one government.

"@FixLook @CarolineLucas The same is true for oil gas farming defence all major industries run on government support.

"Nuclear has a big role to play but its slow and expensive to build. Wind is now the cheapest form of new power in the UK and solar costs have dropped over XX% in a decade.

"Fair questions. But heres the thing every major industry has grown on subsidies: oil gas banking even farming. The green economy isnt unique in that. As for energy bills the UK has high costs because of decades of underinvestment market failures and overreliance on volatile global gas prices. Clean energy is one of the few ways to get long-term price stability if we scale it properly" @HowToFix_UK on X 2025-07-20 16:41:23 UTC XXX followers, XX engagements

"The Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) and the earlier Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) were both initiated under Conservative governments: ARAP (for those who worked with British forces): announced in April 2021 when Boris Johnson was PM.

"You can criticise Labour for being too cautious or managerial fair enough. But lets be real: Thatcher slashed public housing and crushed unions. Starmer is not going further hes still investing in public services clean energy and reindustrialisation (even if not fast enough for some). And calling green jobs + defence investment a war economy feels like a stretch.

"A grown-up debate needs to hold two truths: ✅ We do need immigration to support an ageing population and vital sectors. ❌ But relying on immigration alone while undertraining Brits underpaying workers and underinvesting in productivity is a short-term fix not a long-term plan.

"The UK cant go bankrupt in the way a business or household can but that doesnt mean rising debt isnt a serious issue. 🧾 We spend more on debt interest than on education or policing. 💷 High debt limits what we can invest in long-term. ⚠ And if confidence drops borrowing gets even more expensive.
