>Boeing has said it will convert two 737 aircraft in Birmingham for the US Air Force, which would be the first USAF aircraft built in the UK for over 50 years, and could create 150 high-skilled jobs.
A minor detail but geopolitically fascinating, as the US regulations essentially mean all US Airforce planes had to be made in the US.
£150bn of investment is a hell of a LOT of money and sorely needed.
I’m sure there will be plenty of disparaging comments as per usual but even the moaniest bastard in the UK must admit that’s a decent chunk of change.
The UKs stagnant wage growth has finally made it a lucrative place to invest since they can get cheap(er) labour.
Whats wild is this figure doesn’t even include the £10bn data centre development Blackstone is building in the UK.
Waiting for the tabloid headlines to paint this as a blow for Labour 🙂
£150bn gets 7,600 jobs. 7,600?! That’s barely even a rounding error!
£150bn is almost the NHS budget, paying for 1.5m people!
Where’s the money going? This is just sleight of hand political bullshit, isn’t it? Like Ireland’s GDP, all based around spreadsheet tricks.
This combined with Labours budget and all the renewable projects they’ve green lit, has really got me impressed with their insane infrastructure and investment kick they’ve been doing. Say what you want about Labour but the country has desperately needed this.
I for one look forward to working for our American overlords…….
You know what, I might just take the orange man’s nonsense if he supports our country in this time
For once let’s not be miserable bastards and just enjoy the rare bit of good news
This is genuinely very *very* impressive and a major win for the government. There’s a lot in there to like. Well done to the government on this.
Did the Royals help secure 150 pounds investment? That’s a massive ROI.
BILLIONS have been syphoned from our economy to American firms over the past ten years. Any online purchase gives money to Amazon, eBay or Stripe. That’s 2%-15% of online spending going to firms that pay minimal UK tax due to legal loopholes.
Anyone using a POS that uses Stripe, Lightspeed etc pay 1-2% fees that go straight out the country.
All small businesses advertising on social media and Google pay around 5-10% of revenue on advertising costs (and rising), ALL going straight to American such as Alphabet and META who pay minimal UK tax.
We’re getting to a point that a non-negligible portion of our GDP is going our of the country to mostly American tech companies who, in return, do everything they can to avoid paying tax back into our system.
And then people celebrate when they throw us a scrap of £150bn? We want the full tax revenue due to our which has been avoided over the last 10 years and caused our economy to stagnate.
Can’t wait for it to end up in the pockets of Politicians through their consulting businesses which charge through the roof for fuck all results.
I just hope that this isn’t the start of the degradation of our labor laws and workers rights to the state of the US ones.
Just shows how important having an active and working monarchy is for diplomacy. They get done what the government can’t. Nobody is excited to meet Macron or Starmer who both could be evicted within weeks, so having ambassadors like this above politics is priceless.
