Our Government should take note of Donald Trump’s low tax and business-friendly approach

Yes, his retweeting of Britain First posts last year was appalling. As was his failure to denounce white supremacists on a rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Yes, Trump has his failings, not unlike other American presidents, but his policies are already benefiting the 'forgotten man'

And his reluctance to address gun control was laid bare last week by yet another school shooting — although he is not the only President to fail on this front.
So it is easy to see why people have their misgivings about him.
But, despite what the liberal elite say, our Detroit profile on Pages 28 and 29 today shows that America’s 45th President is making a REAL difference to the lives of hard-up voters.
His tax reform bill has been a huge game-changer for America’s economy.

Its corporation tax cut is allowing firms to create more jobs, give bonuses and raise wages. It has boosted the whole economy.
Unemployment is down to just 4.1 per cent and black unemployment is at its lowest-ever level.
Our Government should take note of his low tax and business-friendly approach.
We could certainly use some of that medicine on this side of the pond.

Degree of good sense

THE Government is right to review tuition fees and student loans.
Currently, students are lumbered with identical debts whether they get top teaching or go on a third-rate course. How can that be right?

Graduates are so common that most degrees don't mean a higher salary — so a graded cost system to boost less popular courses is spot on

Meanwhile, the 6.1 per cent interest on loans is unacceptable. Many will never pay off their debt.
Graduates are now so common that most degrees do not result in higher salaries — so a graded cost system to boost under-subscribed courses is spot on.
We need incentives for vocational courses, too. In post-Brexit Britain, plugging skill shortage gaps will be a boon for our economy.
Jeremy Corbyn’s answer is to have no tuition fees. Yes, it makes a good soundbite. But why should school-leavers pay taxes so others can go to university?
However, Corbyn was savvy to focus on the issue. Unless the Tories reform the system, they could be punished by entire generations for years.
