Relieve VAT from renovation work = instant building boom upgrading all the s
t substandard boxes UKPLC has spent the last 20 years throwing up to decent levels of energy efficiency along with the rest of the housing stock, which desperately needs doing anyway if emissions targets are to be hit. Renovating is green, labour-intensive and not very amenable to scaling, so ideal to help revive the SME building sector that was fked by the GFC, then fked by the government sitting on its hands while the likes of RBS' Global Restructuring Group screwed everyone smaller than Facebook.hidetheelephants said:

Not much chance of that without immigrant workers from the EU. Building work is comically expensive without the cheap labour. t substandard boxes UKPLC has spent the last 20 years throwing up to decent levels of energy efficiency along with the rest of the housing stock, which desperately needs doing anyway if emissions targets are to be hit.

Time to industrialise it and go back to the concept of prefabrication. It's only the post WW2 stigma attached to prefabs that stops us?Modern design technologies, visualisation and production line automation would allow a wide variety of homes to be built to much higher tolerances than the current build qualities with customization.
Jeremy Corbyn asked the Queen. "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient organisation? Are there any tips you can give me?"
"Well." Said the Queen. "The most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."
Jeremy Corbyn then asked. "But how do I know if the people around me are really intelligent?"
The Queen took a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy, you just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle, watch me and listen."
The Queen pushed a button on her intercom. "Please send Prince Charles in here, would you?"
Prince Charles walked into the room and said. Yes, Mother?
The Queen smiled and said to Charles. "Answer me this please Charles. Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?"
Without pausing for a moment, Prince Charles answered. "That would be me."
"Yes, very good!" Said the Queen.
Ah ha I get it said Jeremy, thank you Ma'am. And in a great rush he left.
Corbyn went back to Parliament and decided to ask Diane Abbott the same question.
"Diane, answer this for me." "Your mother and your father have a child. It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?"
"I'm not sure." Said Abbott. And then in true Diane Abbott style she went on to say. "Let me get back to you on that one."
She went to her advisers and asked everyone, but none could give her an answer.
Frustrated, Diane went for a coffee and met Nigel Farage. "Nigel, see if you can answer this question."
"Okay." Replied Nigel.
"Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Farage immediately answered,."8That's easy, it's me!"
Abbott grinned and said. "Good answer Nigel, I see it all now!"
Abbott then, went back to find Corbyn and said to him. "Jeremy, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle
'If your mother and father have a child who is not your brother or your sister, the child is Nigel Farage!"'
Corbyn went red in the face, got up, stomped over to Abbott, and yelled in her face. "No! You bloody idiot! It's Prince Charles

Except that's not the way we've always done it. It will take something drastic to finally drag the construction industry into this century.

Why so ready to believe they will all go home/no others will replace them? Migration, even under the loon Patel, is not going to stop, what does their readiness to sign these ridiculous waivers indicate other than 'business as usual'?. If there are jobs they will come.A Winner Is You said:

Absolutely disgraceful
Nice to see the usual lies coming from Jezzer
Page dated 4th September that is 5 days ago. After again not voting for a GE again last night you would think they would take it down rather than broadcast their lies to the world...

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn tonight told MPs that Labour will support a motion for a general election as soon as the Bill to stop No Deal becomes law.
Speaking after parliament voted through the first stages of legislation to rule out a No Deal Brexit, the Labour leader said: “I repeat what I said last night, Mr Speaker: Let this Bill pass and gain Royal Assent, then we will back an election.”

You do sort of think they just aren't very good at this politics stuff sometimes...
I think you’ve got the wrong end of the stick. They’re doing a very good job of frustrating the government. The memes doing the rounds like the one posted above are pretty funny if you have the ability to distance yourself from it and flip it.
Labour demand an election daily and don’t get it, then an offer is a,de and they reject it. Cue lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth and namecalling. However, if you flip it
Tories have been rejecting daily calls for an election for years, then when they want one they are surprised the opposition says “no thanks, we’re enjoying watching you squirm”.
