I think that's a fair comment.
What we're left with is a deeply divided economy which has been left unaddressed for too long and we need real viable and long term solutions - not labours job creation scheme that had no substance however well intentioned - we can't compete on labour costs so lets make Britain attractive to consumers and firms alike, for example, by giving car manufacturers no corporation tax if they manufacture here, a car built and sold in Britain is free of VAT that type of thing (although it probably breaches European rules on competition)
The onus has to be on R&D you can't just give company's tax breaks to make and sell shite products in this country apart from it breaching EU its a short term fix. What is really needed is inovation creating the best products in this country from the best talents. We have 2 of the best universities in the world we should be capitalising on that. Not only should we creating the best talent from our own people but we should be attracting the best talent from around the world and keeping them.
