Andy Burnham takes aim at Brexit, Thatcherism and Britain’s economic record as he sets out his vision for the country in his first speech as Prime Minister. Burnham pays tribute to Keir Starmer and outlines his plans to deliver economic growth, promising “fiscal responsibility” while arguing that Britain has taken “a series of wrong turns” since the 1980s. He says Brexit “compounded the damage” and pledges to build a pro-business, innovation-led economy across the UK.
Burnham also addresses some of the major issues facing Britain, including the small boats crisis, prison early release and the privatisation of water companies and utilities. Drawing on his experience as Mayor of Manchester, the Prime Minister explains how his time in local government has shaped his approach to leading the country. He concludes by promising that Britain can “believe again” and “bring back hope” as he sets out his ambitions for the future.
Opposition Leader Kemi Badenoch wastes no time in challenging the new Prime Minister, mocking Burnham’s first day in office and warning that being Prime Minister is “a very different job” from being Mayor of Manchester. Badenoch grills him over defence spending, the small boats crisis, tax rises and his criticism of Thatcherism, accusing Burnham of wanting to take Britain “back to the 1970s”.

Hunt making Britain unattractive to big business so they do not open new places, pay tax in Britain, employ hundreds of people all paying tax. Then he can say Brexit failed we need to go back in the EU.

From Ireland, there are several reasons other than corporation tax rates that would influence this decision, although citing that is politically more palatable in the UK.
Ireland already has all the US and European biopharma companies here, for decades. It also has the highest population percentage with 3rd level degrees in all the 27 Member States. AstraZeneca can attract similarly qualified professionals from anywhere in the EU , and from Northern Ireland, without impediment.
Finally, it's a Horizon programme partner, and the kids of anyone moving here qualify for Erasmus, including NI people.
One doesn't attract highly qualified professionals, without a portfolio of opportunities for their partners and kids as well.
I'll leave you to name the elephant.

It just makes you realise why the WEF imposed twice rejected Sunak and Hunt on us without an election. It's so they can stop growth and claim it's because of Brexit. Even though the UK was the fastest growing economy in the G7 after Brexit for 2 years running before they were imposed on us.

I said it at the time and haven’t changed my mind recession incoming. Some town centres are now stopping companies from relocating to malls because they are afraid of the damage to town centres. This says to me the town centres are dying especially at the current time as households have other priorities such as gas and electricity. If town centres are not getting any footfall or limited footfall it isn’t surprising companies want to move to malls or out of town shopping centres where there is.
