AMID the hullabaloo at Westminster last week, it could be argued that Labour forfeited any claim to have “beaten” the Tories politically when…
politically when they purged all vestiges of socialism from the party and adopted the central tenets of Thatcherism – the privatisation of public services, the warmongering and the redistribution of wealth and power from the poor to the rich.
The estimated cost of this new service would be £4 billion per annum. That is a lot of money. But the cost of not reforming social care in this way will be greater still both financially and in terms of the misery inflicted on many seniors. Scotland needs social care standards of which we can be proud, not ashamed. This proposal does that.IT’S also time to face reality as far as Scotland’s housing crisis is concerned.
Scotland’s housing stock is valued at £1 trillion. The total value of all homes across the UK now stands at £8.678tn, according to research by property firm Savills. That’s three times the size of the UK. Clearly, then, it would be folly, as Labour plan, to pursue the high-cost PFI-style financing of social housing. Governments can always access low-cost, long-term, asset-based funding which meet real needs and provide returns to lenders.
Sales of electric vehicles – touted as the way out of the climate crisis – have slowed worldwide endangering targets for reducing greenhouseemissions. This slump is based on the high cost of EVs and is likely to be worsened by the US and EU tariff wars with China, the world’s largest electric car maker.
