Britain is heading for a deep, long recession

Labour MPs want a four-day working week. And they want more people to work from home. It’s going well. Nearly all civil servants will soon work from home and work a maximum of four days a week. Many nurses now work from home. (Honest.) Bus and train drivers will be next. Britain’s productivity is the lowest in the world and Labour seems determined to keep it that way. (Company bosses don’t agree on much but most do agree that working from home is a disaster, that a four-day week would result in massive bankruptcies and unemployment, that global warming doesn’t exist and that Net Zero is the route to disaster.) 

MPs in Britain have generously and reluctantly agreed to accept an inflation-busting pay rise. “We haven’t had an inflation-busting pay rise since our last pay rise!” said Daphne Grope-Gently the MP for the constituency of Fondling Under Water.

(At which point Reeves should have told them they would not in future be allowed to sell their damned products to the NHS.) AstraZeneca is a £180 billion company which has forecast revenue of $80 billion by 2030, and makes such huge profits that it paid boss Pascal Soriot £14.7 million last year. Soriot has been paid nearly £120 million in the last decade. Reeves, happily throwing taxpayers’ money at AstraZeneca, is the woman who cut the winter fuel allowance for old age pensioners (“OAPs”), leaving thousands of impecunious old people to freeze to death.
