Following Reeves’ emergency budget I ran some simulations with the help of AI to see what policies would actually grow the economy.

Spoiler alert, it was pretty much the opposite of what Labour is doing… 🧵 👇🏼

First, let’s talk tax. Labour is raising taxes across the board - on businesses, pensions, and even savers. My simulations showed that cutting business rates, National Insurance, and VAT (to 17.5%) would drive investment, hiring, and wage growth.

📈 Estimated GDP increase: +1.5%

Abolishing National Insurance altogether would be a long-term goal, but even gradual cuts massively increase take-home pay and incentivise business growth. The result? Higher GDP per capita and higher overall tax revenue despite lower rates.

📈 Estimated GDP increase: +2.0%

Labour is blocking economic growth with over-regulation and high energy costs. Instead, my AI models found that lower energy prices (via nuclear investment) and cutting red tape on road infrastructure would unlock higher productivity & wages.

📈 Estimated GDP increase: +1.8%

Labour is clinging to failed mass immigration policies. Instead, we should incentivise skilled migration from the US & EU while offering a voluntary remigration loan for non-productive migrants. Smart, targeted migration fuels economic growth.

📈 Estimated GDP increase: +1.0%

On trade, Labour wants to cosy up to Brussels. But the biggest economic boost would come from closer trade and military ties with the US, securing major investment in defence, manufacturing and finance.

📈 Estimated GDP increase: +1.3%

Public sector waste is out of control. Instead of throwing money at failing institutions, we should:
✅ Strip back public sector DEI roles
✅ Allow the NHS to sell anonymised data to pharma firms for research
✅ End benefits for non-citizens

📈 Estimated GDP increase: +1.0%

Meanwhile, Labour is hiking inheritance tax and killing investment in British farming. Reversing inheritance tax for farmers would secure UK food production and cutting business rates would revitalise high streets & industry.

📈 Estimated GDP increase: +0.8%

Another economic boost? Legalising and taxing cannabis. Labour refuses to even consider it, despite the fact that regulated markets in the US have generated billions in revenue while cutting crime and police costs.

📈 Estimated GDP increase: +0.7%

Labour’s House of Lords reform is a half-measure. My model suggests we abolish the Lords altogether, replacing it with an elected upper house, ensuring regional representation and greater devolution—especially for Wales & Scotland.

📈 Estimated GDP increase: +0.5%

Instead of wasting money on bloated institutions like the BBC, we should strip it back to core news & education while enforcing true political balance. And yes, that means cutting the license fee.

📈 Estimated GDP increase: +0.4%

In short, Labour’s policies will shrink the economy and weaken Britain.

AI-backed simulations show that lower taxes, energy independence, targeted immigration and real infrastructure investment will drive growth and raise GDP per capita.

Labour won’t do it.

The choice is clear:
❌ Labour = higher taxes, lower growth, more debt
✅ Real reform = higher wages, investment & economic strength

We can fix Britain - but only with bold action. Something most parties seem afraid of.
