(Buckle up) Recession for more than a year

Best use of property in years ahead will be as a hedge against inflation if it gets out of control...as for young people being able to afford property in South...forget it too many vested interests want prices high
 
For anyone thinking that there is no way out of this, then is a great read

In essence the main thrust is that government sets up a scheme for those really struggling to pay and they pay a set amount to the government and then the government pays this over to the energy companies. Then an agreement is reached between supplier and government of an amount to be paid and the rest is written off.

This happens all the time in the business world when companies enter into a CVA. Where creditors effectively agree to take a haircut on what is owed them. Once the agreement has been reached it allows the company to continue to trade.
 
This neatly puts the economic forecast and the timing of the next general election together. Conclusion - Tories are fucked.

 
Workers at Felixstowe to strike for 8 days now - something else to add to the misery with more supply chain delays - I suspect that the 15 month recession will be longer than that even
The general strikes of 1970 will seem like a picnic in comparison of the shit we've got ahead of us. But shhhh don't mention the B word we can't mention that.
 
OK, so you went to Disney World.
Is it in Texas? but yep I've done Disney world along with all the other Florida theme parks over the years, can't be a much better holiday if you've got money to spend.New York's got a lot to commend it as well.
 
I suspect it's a complicated answer. From what I can gather most metro mayor areas are generally doing better than areas without them, and areas like Manchester presumably have a higher profile for a number of reasons therefore attracting more investment plus there is a major international airport here unlike everywhere else outside London. Having a high profile figurehead like Burnham presumably helps as well.
Plus the real issue behind the Sheffield uni attack on ADUG investments in East Manchester was the pull of "centripetal cities" with the critical mass to have better facilities and better public transport than the peripheral towns that have been ignored or even penalised by this government. Is the increased GDP in GM just in the city of Manchester or is it matched in Oldham, Rochdale, etc?

That includes existing homeowners, notably when they oppose new housing developments.
