Andy Burnham reacts to DEVASTATING Stourbridge fires as homes GUTTED: “Never seen anything like it”
Andy Burnham has visited families in Stourbridge after seeing the scenes of houses devastated by fires.
The Prime Minister outlined his plans to support those affected by the destruction, as he issued a temporary ban on the sale of disposable barbecue.
The ban comes into force today.
Speaking about the fires in Stourbridge, he said: “I’ve never seen anything like it. I mean, I dealt with wildfires in Greater Manchester, but nothing on this scale. I’ve never seen scenes like this in Britain, where you just see a whole house gutted, smouldering.
“And I met one of the families whose house had gone up in that in that way, so you can imagine how distressing that is for for them, and you feel for them and their kids, and not to go elsewhere.
“You know, it’s just unbelievably devastating for people in this in this position. So that’s why I’m here. I just wanted to show that, you know, we’re on the ground.
“We understand how difficult this is for everybody, and we will put in place the support to help people get back to where they should be as soon as possible.”

Mark Littlewood says “we now live in gaslit Britain” after it emerged the Home Office published a guide for illegal migrants on how “not to rape women”.
It is just one of the resources available in a collection titled: “Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK: a guide for asylum seekers”.
Posters and information on rape, the age of consent and child abuse are among the guides to help asylum seekers “understand what is expected when living in the UK”.
The guidance highlights child rape is illegal “even if they look older” or if “it is allowed in another country”.
Speaking to Patrick Christys on GB News, political commentator Mark Littlewood said: “This pamphlet is extraordinary. And the reason I find it so extraordinary and disturbing is if you need that pamphlet, I don’t want you anywhere near my country.”
A Home Office spokesperson told GB News: “We expect everyone who comes to the UK to abide by our laws.
“If they do not, they will face consequences, including the refusal of their asylum claim and removal from the UK.
“Returns of failed asylum seekers have reached their highest level since 2010 under this Government.”

There is no such thing as “Trickle Down Economics”. It is a straw man contrived by economic illeterates as an argument against supply side economics. It relies on an analogy which is more akin to communism where all wealth/money ultimately comes from the state, and the state decides who gets to keep what size share of said wealth, which is clearly contrary to the core principle of Supply side side economics which focuses on production, not consumption.

I can't believe we are STILL talking about trickle down economics 40 years later. No, it's not a strawman left argument. It IS from the right.
New Zealand, since 1984, and then on steroids 1991, both our right and so-called left governments went further neo-liberal than anywhere in the world. Further than Reagan and Thatcher.
We went from an egalatarian country to one of the most unequal countries in the world. We are a basket case. The young and those who emigrated here are getting out now, me soon too, sadly.
Highest house prices and rents in the world. They want nurses to immigrate here, well where will they live – some overpriced dingy flat, forget about saving for a million dollar cold house.
I couldn't believe yr PM borrowing to pay tax cuts for the rich. Trust me, it won't work other than to further increase house prices for the rich and higher interest rates and inflation. Then wait for the ram raids from the growing dispossessed

of course it does. If you don't create wealth, you don't get investment, if you don't get investment, you don't get jobs its as simple as that

"Trickle-down economics" does not even exist…and it's not "logical" at all, it's meaningless. It's a left wing caricature of capitalism that was fabricated in the US in the 30's. 'Trickle Down Theory and 'Tax Cuts for the Rich' by Thomas Sowell debunks this nonsense totally (12 pages £1.85 on Amazon).

It's furlough that's caused inflation and the government borrowing
The bank of England raising interest rates will have no effect on inflation
This isn't like the 2008 financial crash where banks was lending willy nilly and the bank of England raising interest to discourage further borrowing
This is what happens when you shut the economy down for 2 years and paying people to stay at home
A recession will combat inflation

Most immigrants who come and work in this country spend as little as possible in the UK economy. Almost all the eastern europeans I currently work with live 6 to a room, buy cheap food from the local eastern european food store and send more than half their wages back to their home country every month. This is destroying the British economy.
@stephfoxwell4620
December 18, 2023 at 12:09 pm
Obviously no.
They have tried it since 1980.
42 years and all that happened was the rich got much much richer.

It would probably work if you didn't flood the market with cheap labour through mass uncontrolled immigration.
@tommyrotton9468
December 18, 2023 at 12:09 pm
no, it works a little, but on the whole the money stays in the banks or in property.
What actually works is trickle up economics, if the poor has more money to spend the rich get richer if they work harder to sell things.
