The same HM Treasury has been proposing excessive austerity which has brought unnecessary financial and social hardship to millions of middle and working class people.

Why don’t HM Treasury offer massive incentives to stimulate investment and exports? Also what about an enormous increase in foreign languages capability?

Any thoughts?
