I have just returned from a weekend in Norfolk; what a difference between the crops in that county to ours. I had a job concentrating on the road ahead as I looked across field after field with bumper crops of wheat, barley and potatoes all looking tall, healthy. The Norfolk farmers I met were all cock a hoop with expectations a good harvest while at the same time not looking too happy knowing we are not in the same boat down south. Having lost at least 75% of our arable crops over winter and what is left will be disappointing, we face a third disappointing harvest.
Sticking to the rural theme, why is no one talking about labour’s Keir Starmer being a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The man is a left wing socialist, a big supporter of Jeremy Corbyn, an enthusiast for huge tax rises, the EU, doesn’t know what a woman is and will allow men to claim to be women on a whim so they can intimidate and threaten women and girls. Also, as all socialists, believes the government can spend our money better than we can. He is making out he has conservative values being pro wealth creation and business - really?
He appears to have difficulty recognising the difference between facts and fiction and has a vivid imagination regarding his capabilities as he flip flops according to which way the wind is blowing, as he tries to win favour with the public.
With the greatest respect to those intending to vote labour, it is worth noting the polling pundits tell us that voting intensions often depend upon education. Well, you don’t have to be the sharpest knife in the box to recall labour have always left the country on the brink of financial collapse which the Tories then have had to pick up. They tax the public until the ’pips squeak’, they hate anyone who aspires to become successful, build a business, educate their children privately, take out private medical insurance and generally be independent of the state. Why would anyone believe labour will improve the country and its prosperity when their intension is to reduce everyone to lowest common denominator.
I do sympathise with those who have serious doubts about Rishi Sunak – me too. As Chancellor his decisions were questionable particularly when giving away billions to undeserving non-existent small businesses and individuals, during the pandemic. No doubt he was trying to woo the public to like and forgive him as he stabbed Boris in the back. However, following the election, whatever the outcome, we can be sure the party will remove him as leader, if he holds his seat which is doubtful, and hopefully replace him with someone with charisma and leadership skills – if there are any by then.
Following the General Election, one of the first decisions to be made by the incoming government will be to select which of the six nuclear companies which will submit their final bids to the design competition for small nuclear reactors (SNRs). The process is now urgent and decades overdue.
Amongst those companies is Rolls Royce which is according to its chief executive already 18 months ahead of its competitors which include GE-Hitachi, Westinghouse, EDF, Holtec and NuScale. The competition is being run by Great British Nuclear (GBN), and as Tufan Erginbilgic, the chief executive of Rolls-Royce has said, ‘once the decision is made funding should be awarded quickly and tangible progress must be made on choosing sites for the first prototypes.
Sussex has some exceptionally perfect and practical sites which I hope will be considered. SMRs will potentially revolutionise the nuclear industry and decarbonise the electricity grid, which is why these companies are racing to become the first to commercialise the technology.
The worry is that the General Election will delay making this important decision, and no one really knowns whether labour, if they win, recognises the urgency, or has the desire to take SNRs seriously.
