Our ancient village will be flattened by Heathrow’s third runway but we still SUPPORT Reeves’ plan… just get it done

For each his speech astir being the lad of a toolmaker, Sir Keir Starmer couldn't archer a screwdriver from a spanner. The bloke hasn't got a hint however the operation manufacture works.

This week, you heard the government's large plan—1.5 cardinal homes and adjacent a 3rd runway astatine Heathrow. It mightiness dependable great, but Labour's policies are driving the precise workers we request into the ground.

Britain urgently needs much homes, hospitals, schools, and roads. Yet alternatively of equipping workers with shovels and tools, the PM has handed them pencils and clipboards.

In Sir Keir's reckless contention to clime targets, the operation manufacture is drowning successful skyrocketing costs and endless reddish tape. The result? Job losses, delayed projects, and a operation manufacture crumbling nether the value of its ain regulations.

Meanwhile, Rachel Reeves - Labour's nonmigratory maths wizard - thinks hiking leader National Insurance is simply a large idea. Because thing screams "economic growth" similar strangling family-run businesses. These firms, the backbone of Britain's operation industry, are being crushed nether Labour's anti-growth agenda.

And the workforce? It's vanishing faster than caller houses are appearing. Over the past 5 years, UK operation has mislaid 70,000 workers annually, with the mean property of those remaining present implicit 50. Apprenticeship starts person averaged conscionable 31,000 per year, with astir fractional dropping out.

If 'Rachel from Accounts' did the maths, she'd spot this adds up to a nett nonaccomplishment of 50,000 radical leaving the jobs marketplace each year. Yet Sir Keir expects these dwindling ranks to present his Soviet-style gathering targets. It's laughable.

Industry leaders similar Steve Mulholland of the Construction Plant-hire Association person warned the PM his policies are hammering the sector. But Sir Keir thinks helium knows best.

His forensic expertise has already near pensioners freezing astatine Christmas and farmers blockading his beforehand door. Now, Britain's builders are adjacent successful enactment for his dose of wisdom.

Labour's solution? Import much workers. Why fuss grooming Brits erstwhile you tin telephone for a speedy hole from overseas? At this rate, we'll person much brickies arriving astatine Heathrow than passengers connected Starmer's 3rd runway.

As the benefits measure balloons and borrowing hits grounds levels, Labour continues to prioritise the workshy implicit the hardworking similar they ever person done. This madness has to stop.

At Reform UK, we judge blue-collar workers are the backbone of this country. They should beryllium cherished, not punished. And for excessively long, our acquisition strategy has funnelled teenagers into pointless degrees that saddle them with lifelong debts and nary existent occupation prospects.

Keir Starmer's promises mightiness look bully connected paper, but they're arsenic flimsy arsenic the clipboard he's handed Britain's builders.

If this authorities is superior astir growth, it needs to commercialized soundbites for existent blueprints and commencement listening to those who really cognize which extremity of a hammer to hold.

If not, Britain's gathering imagination volition illness faster than Jeremy Corbyn's allotment shed successful a storm.
