RAAC highlights the fact that our politicians do not deal with reality https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/09/01/raac-highlights-the-fact-that-our-politicians-do-not-deal-with-reality/. RAAC is the material used in crumbling schools and hospitals, but it is symblomatic of our crumbling democracy and politics. Both need replacement and renewal.
The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why don’t we just let it go?

I posted this on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy/status/1942861045426516103 My point is serious. The CBI is saying that the situation with regard to the UK stock exchange is getting desperate, because it is losing out to overseas markets and not attracting sufficient business. The question that needs to be asked is, why is that?...

@RichardJMurphy RAAC was known to have a life expectancy of 25 years when these buildings were built. And that's fine if you expect the demand to change and a new building to be needed to meet changed conditions. BUT you need to start planning the replacement at least 5 years before the expected end of life, preferably more. Not leave it 40 years and just hope it will fall down on someone else's watch.
