NIMBY We are all NIMBY It’s about when
We need more houses to accommodate our existing population. The problem is that our population is growing at such an alarming rate that I can't see how we can keep up.

Our population growing is not helped by the extremely loose immigration polices or rather lack of .

But building houses should not mean destroying the local habitat and countryside People need this We could start with curtailing entrants try this island This is the result
We are surrounded by farmland /green belt and some of it earmarked for building . The infrastructure would burst and we would see utterly choked up roads . This is not living
Houses planned would be expensive ones,not affordable ones.

Its just they haven't told anyone yet but I suspect you're right.
I don’t think they can afford to do nothing about immigration.
Whether people want to believe it or not, we’ve seen from the last GE that immigration is a big issue for a significant number of people in the U.K. - I think research showed it was the 3rd or 4th most important priority for most people.
If Labour want to win the next GE, they’ve got to deal with immigration once and for all, if they do that they’ll take the ground from under Reform and they’ll show the conservatives in a bad light.
Immigration has been shown to boost growth which is why the last government allowed the numbers to increase, but without increasing the infrastructure correspondingly it can causes a lot of issues.
What concerns me is how we are going to deliver this increase in building houses without compromising quality. Some of the large house building companies turnout some really poor products already and significantly increasing the out may make that worse, I’d like to see the government increase standards significantly. We don’t have enough trades people either, so that could create further immigration.

To sort the immigration problem once and for all, will need a strong government not afraid to make a lot of harsh and unpopular decisions, if the Conservatives didn't have the stomach to do that, I just can't see Labour having anymore stomach for the job than the last bunch.

Agree with most of this. My only caveat would be that there is a question mark against how far recent immigration to the UK has led to economic growth. In aggregate terms, yes to a rather weak degree, but immigration has had a negative effect on per capita productivity. Low productivity is why we are in such dire straits and it is no coincidence that this comes at the end of a period of record immigration.

We are low productivity, and why is this the fault of Immigration? Low productivity is because of low investment into industry etc. The US has a bigger immigration problem then we have, but they are much more productive, because they have greater investment by their companies. Companies here are just interested in cut backs and redundancies to increase their profits short term, so their CEOS, can get a great great bonus

Several reasons:
Cheap labour leads to delays in investment linked to greater use of automation.
Influx of relatively unskilled labour which depresses wages, depresses the per capita tax take, and means fewer people are making a net fiscal contribution.
A large number of immigrants are not entitled to work under existing rules, and consume government revenues in a way that does not aid economic growth.
You have been peddling the economic growth argument for a long time, but just put graphs of per capita productivity, and per capita GDP alongside a graph of total annual numbers of arrivals over time. If immigration was really so good for economic growth we wouldn't be where we are.

That hasn't answer the question of, why other countries will similar or more immigration than us are being more productive?

The question, in case you forgot, is: has immigration driven economic growth in the UK? If interested in the wider picture then you would need to show how far the 3 graphs I mentioned are similar or different for a given country. Actually several EU countries, including Germany, don't look to be in a great position either. The USA is different because it offers far less social protection for poorer people, with an obvious impact on public expenditure and the economy. As Milton Freidman said, you can have a welfare state or you can have free immigration, but not both.

Nothing mentioned about immigration. Countries with higher immigration than us are more productive
How do you explain Russian with its huge population and vast resources being less productive than smaller Countries like Germany, Japan, UK, France, Italy and Canada?

Russia is 57th in the GDP list per capita.

Here we go, this is true, in my opinion. All across the Uk we have had little investment in the infrastructure OR in people. The CEO's/boards/senior managers have been busy making those cuts AND increasing prices and pocketting the profits, taking pay rises and dividends for them and their shareholders while the businesses just get run down and we have seen it almost everywhere.
Look at all the privatised utilities and Royal Mail/Post Office, all more expensive, all providing a worse service and all have paid out a large amount to the people at the top. And the worse of these is possibly Thames Water,
Literally everywhere we look prices are rising and service is worse, Government local and nationali included. Our council tax went up by more than inflation but they are cutting again, black bin collections or garden waste collection is going to change.
Labour has to make changes, has to bring back common sense to the everyday rip offs we all face.

GDP and productivity are not the same. To be honest , I don't know how productive they are. Their GDP although small is built of actual production and industry , while many countries are on services. Their economy at the moment is on a war footing and it's booming.Their factories are working full time and they are getting big investment from inside and outside the country

Correct the Russians are not very productive and have a low GDP per capita. Probably a result of communism and dictatorships by their government.
