More houses need people to buy more stuff - and the more houses part, to me, has always been partly folly anyway. I have no idea where you live but if you have time go for a walk and look at how many homes are empty, not just those for sale but others just sat empty. Where we live there are more empty homes than new ones and neither are selling - and yet they re due to build more. I get the Labour policy but creation of wealth still needs that wealth to be spent unless the wealth is all held by the businesses whose profits drive growth. -

Happy with a dry and warm start, if it rains a bit on Saturday evening/Sunday no great shakes. -

I thought you were talking about the demand side, giving more people money to buy and invest etc, which I guess what Truss was thinking with cutting taxes. The labour strategy is to invest in renewables and green tech industries, and build more houses. They hope both would create more skilled jobs, more wealth, more tax revenue. Not sure about the hoping people buy extra stuff comes into it. Not sure that was what the guardian leader thing was talking about either, it was more that alongside this labour needs to invest in public services and infrastructure. I wonder if Labour will rip up it's fiscal rules part way through this parliament. -

It is usually both, maybe a couple of bands with DJ's in between. People like Mystery Jets, Arlo Parks (when she was much smaller), let's eat grandma have played to give you an idea of size. I've never actually been because it is usually a queue to get in. -
You are right that the unspoken downside is producing the same with less people. France has higher productivity and more unemployment. We use immigration to employ people on low wages to make up for not raising productivity. Our way is worse, over the long term we will decline. I don't see people using less, most people have loads of crap they don't need. There are billions of people who want our lifestyle. Supplying them without trashing the planet is the bigger problem.
