Robert Jenrick to announce 60 job creating policies

Tomorrow Robert Jenrick will unveil more than 60 job-creating policies to kickstart the economy as part of Reform UK's Economic Rescue Plan.

Each one of these policies are fiscally neutral and can be implemented immediately at no cost to the Treasury.

Among the measures included in the detailed policy document are:

• Approval of the Rosebank oil field 
• Restart licensing for new oil and gas fields 
• We will legislate to remove the planning and environmental blockers for new runway projects, including Heathrow and Gatwick
• Make all water reservoirs Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects', bringing them into the national fast-track for major projects
• Implement a broad Permitted Development Right for brownfield residential development

At a speech in central London tomorrow Robert Jenrick will unveil a rival teal budget book setting out the different choices Reform would make. 

They include cutting £40 billion of wasteful spending on the benefits bill, net zero subsidies and foreign to give the average household £1,300 in tax relief. 

Reform UK's Shadow Chancellor Robert Jenrick said:

'Everything reported so far suggests this will be a mañana budget', with John Healey dodging the tough decisions our country needs.

"We can't continue like this. The country can't wait 10 years for Andy Burnham to work out a plan - we need action now. 

Reform would bring forward more than 60 job-creating measures in our first budget to kickstart the economy. These common sense policies cost the taxpayer nothing - it's a no brainer. 

"Reform UK has the plan to make the economy work again: spend less, tax less, borrow less, and finally put the British people first.

Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage said:

The British public is frankly fed up with successive governments dodging the big decisions. 

It's clear that urgent action is required. Reform's proposals will create a vibrant, growing private sector that delivers well-paid jobs for British citizens.

Britain is broken. Britain needs Reform.'
