PM dilutes targets as he adds six ‘milestones’ to his five missions, three foundations and seven pillars for growth
Targets, missions, foundations and pillars. That’s what produces economic growth, right?

This is the bureaucratic mind at work.
Khan and Starmer are cut very much from the same cloth : they became Human Rights lawyers which meant that they could earn a nice steady income from the State without all the nastiness of adversarial court process.
A bit of brown nosing of Blair and Brown and they end up with nice jobs, whereas if they actually had to work somewhere, they’d be grafting in some HR department or as clerks in the Ministry for Office Fasteners ( Paperclips Dept).
So when it comes to actual politics, they are way out of their depth and being a bit thick and utterly devoid of imagination,the only way that they can see to progress their failing careers is to set targets, milestones, pledges and so on.
Sad really. All rather Soviet in fact.\
The first of the six targets is economic growth:
highest sustained economic growth in the G7 group of rich nations
Lol
Considering that the G7 is now a collection of basket cases, that shouldn’t be too hard.
Who will be punished when
the tidethe economy doesn’t obey orders?The seven pillars obviously aren’t of wisdom.
I had the misfortune to be represented in Parliament by Nick Gibb under whose control our schools regressed so markedly. He was an ineffective and disinterested constituency MP who replied to complaints using HoC headed paper full of waffle and obvious cut ‘n paste from CCHQ guidelines explaining why he couldn’t possibly do anything to help and implying that I was wrong for even asking. He was a staunch remainer/wannabe rejoiner despite the clear vote to leave within his constituency.
His allegedly imminent knighthood also comes as no surprise.
raising living standards in every part of the UK, as part of the government’s aim to deliver the highest sustained economic growth in the G7 group of rich nations.
Endeavour to persevere.
We will keep on going until all the children are above average.
Garrison Keillor (ish)
It’s over five years and it’s a plan. What’s Soviet about that?
Nothing in Starmer’s internal image of this plan involves hairy-arsed men in big boots going out and doing work. That bit just happens by magic, it’s the plan and more importantly the measurements which count for him. Watch the measurements. Watch carefully the phraseology. That’s where the magic will be done, in word-slicing and figure-fudging.
As with much else that we hear these days, it’s all “Slogans, buzzwords and meaningless drivel”.
The cracker is to ‘de-carbonise’ our energy sector by 2030.
No matter how many bird choppers they put up, there won’t be any electricity when the wind doesn’t blow, so demand will have to be suppressed:
a. Make leccy so expensive no one can afford to use it.
b. Turn off individual smart meters (glad I don’t have one of those – yet. And personally, I think anyone who believes in this shit should be registered, and get turned off first).
c. Implement National Grids’ 3 hour emergency power cut rota: https://www.nationalgrid.co.uk/rota-load-disconnections. Go to this website to find out your code…powercut105.com
Come back 1972, all is forgiven…….(at least the music was better then).
Maybe his job is to wreck the economy and reduce the citizens to dependency on the state? Everything else is theatre until UN Agenda 2030/WEFtopia are achieved.
A typo, surely? All #TwoTierKier is likely to produce are millstones, to be hung around the neck of every taxpayer.
Clearly the spellchecker didn’t work when he was announcing his new cabinet members, the seven pillocks…
They don’t know what growth is either.
And a twatridge in a twat tree.
Targets, missions, foundations, pillars, and a Holiday Inn full of black lads from assorted low-trust societies who smoke a lot, play keepie-uppie, and stare hungrily at your wife and daughters.
Be fair. Starmer is doing his bit on reducing unemployment, by setting up several (taxpayer funded) committees and debating groups for each of these declarations. It’s obvious he’s only thinking of us.
The only interesting line was his comment that: “Too many people in Whitehall are comfortable in the tepid bath of managed decline.” So what are you going to do about it, PM? (Spoiler alert: nothing)
Great news. To make us richer all he has to do is
Scrap HS2
Bin the environmental impact reports for Sizewell C, the lower Thames crossing, etc
Sack 200,000 civil servants and 120+ university vice chancellors
Abolish inflation proof defined benefits schemes for public employees
Defund all NGOs
Dish out lots of North Sea drilling licences
Open that coal mine in Cumbria
Reverse the closure of Grangemouth refinery and Port Talbot steelworks
Frack Blackpool, the Bowland shale and the Weald
Get the Koreans to build us some nuclear power stations (they can do it at a third of the cost and three times as fast)
Stop importing dodgy Chinese bird choppers and solar panels
Fast track illegal immigrants through the courts and fine them at least the equivalent of a three year undergraduate degree, issue them with ID cards plainly marked “No recourse to public funds”.
You what? He’s not going to do what is obviously in our best interests? Hmmm, perhaps he doesn’t have our best interests at heart.
Got a four point plan to share:
Low and easy to collect taxes
One tier easy access justice system
Peace
Leave everything else to the natural
