1.Food Security - Grow our own food to remove the need to buy from abroad
2.Energy Security - we have oil & biomass make it work for us.
3. Labour - get robots in now and upskill.
4. Skilled staff - offer reciprocal deals to individual countries to retain Higher rate tax payers. Training to replace lower paid and/or preferential visa status. Those on low pay or self supporting can apply for citizenship with reduced fees and qualifications.The unemployed / not able to sustain themselves & those with Criminal records can depart.
5. Develop new Services we can sell abroad. If we need passporting we will pay dearly for it.
6. Time to push UK PLC to produce real profits.Comment
