400,000 green jobs. Great in the short term to build wind farms and insulate homes. Great when it’s in progress, but what happens when it’s done? Who’s paying these people?

Is that the big idea, honestly is that it. I get phone calls every other day about government subsidised insulation.....
 
Once insulated we can just leave them? New houses don’t get built?

Wind farms don’t need to be maintained? We can just build them then leave. Awesome. Who cares how many jobs they produce then!
Well there’s a load more questions. Homes are being built with insulation in now, I assume that these fitters are fitting older homes with it. Or are the Labour Party going to be building more homes?

With the wind farms the workforce to build them is higher than the workforce needed to run it. But, is this after the power grids been renationalised - how many of those jobs will be cannibalised from the private sector etc?

If it was saying we will renationalise the railway and create x amount of jobs, you can go with it - the needs always going to be there. With this it seems far more short term.
 
I like most of what is said by Labour but I fear if they try and do all of that we are going to end up like Greece. There is only so much can be brought in by stopping tax evasion and extra taxes on corporations.

Sometimes less is more, it's like they have just agreed to everything that sounds like a vote winner. I would rather have had less policies so it would be believable that they would be able deliver on those promises.

Sell them to those countries that are just waiting for the Tories to strike trade deals with. Simple and easy really. Rees Mogg's brand new bright tomorrow.
 
I wrote - what happens to the people in these jobs when they reach their end.
You wrote - Sell them to other countries.

I’m pretty sure I understood what I wrote, do you?

Oh dear.

As you will see...

They probably won’t be here in 100 years time but it’d basically be mpossible to introduce the scheme without it creating a sizeable number of jobs.
 
"The Tory Brexiteers unite the politics of the 1950s with the economics of the 19th century, daydreaming about a Britannia that both rules the waves and waives the rules."

^ That's a cracker of a quote.


Indeed they were. His quip about JR Mogg quickly moving his private investments into the Eurozone was very funny too. Bit of an eye opener for the working class leavers that Mogg supposedly represents.
 
Oh dear.

No I’m still not following here at all. What happens when the wind farms etc are built? What happens to the people.

Either your answer is we will sell the wind farms (which seems a bit against nationalisation, but what do I know) or you’ll sell the people who built them.

Either way I think you might have the wrong end of the stick here.
 
Hull's going to be rolling in the money when Siemen's build all these brand new wind farms. Great news for the youth of Hull who will be trained in high skilled jobs. Proper joined up thinking from Corbyn.

Oh deary me.

To quote your good self

"

No mention of 'what happens to the people' only 'Who's paying these people?'.

After the country and the seas are awash with wind farms those then produced will be sold to those countries in Rees Mogg's/Goves/Johnson's brand new bright tomorrow trade deal. Simple and easy.
 
Ahh. So we now need to abandon logic that there can only be a finite amount of homes that require insulation or wind farms that can be built. Gotcha.

What happened when everyone had a mobile phone? What happened when everyone had a car? Another development or industry comes along. Some has to build spaceports and terraform Mars.
