OPINION
The Prime Minister should be bold and do these key things (Image: PA)
As the world's nations are being forced to reset their economies due to the chaos unleashed by President Trump’s new tariff onslaught, now is not the time to dither but to grab the moment with bold actions of our own. We can already thank Brexit for British goods now being 10% cheaper than our European rivals – not to mention considerably cheaper than Asian nations. Now, to embrace this competitive advantage, Britain should ramp up a reduction in taxes to make the UK the perfect place for foreign businesses to make their goods and export into the US market.
To do that, the UK needs to offer lower corporate taxes and cheaper energy. Energy-hungry AI firms are hardly going to relocate to a country with the highest industrial electricity prices in the world. Sir Keir Starmer is offering us a new reality to steady our economy in choppy seas, but his words are not really followed by strong actions.

'Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves one simple misstep away from disaster' [LATEST]
'Keir Starmer must smash Net Zero economic masochism for UK' [LATEST]
At the start of the week, he stood in a West Midlands factory promising to help British car-makers cope with 25% tariffs but his so-called watering down of net zero rules on electric vehicles has failed to rally manufacturers. A mere reduction of fines per petrol car from ￡15,000 to ￡12,000 still means car-makers are faced with huge financial losses if the EV market doesn’t pick up, or worse they will have to pay out to Chinese EV makers to gain carbon credits. Consequently, people will lose jobs.
Currently, 28% of new cars sold in the UK must be electric, says the government net zero diktat but the market share last year was 19.6% amid widespread concerns about value and performance. Starmer has been wise not to retaliate with tariffs of our own as we are being told a trade agreement with the US is tantalisingly close.

We already levy up to 12% tariffs on US food products and to sweep all that away would mean that with zero tariffs on both sides we’d be even more attractive for inward investors. One good thing is that the hoary old scare-story of chlorine-washed chicken can now be finally retired by EU activists who resurrect it whenever there is talk of a deal.
We already eat chlorine-washed salad so why should chicken be a problem? With his tariff war, Trump is clearly taking care of his own people, hoping to repatriate many thousands of jobs to the US. And we should do exactly the same. But our socialist government needs to get a crash course in real world economics.

Speaking in the Commons yesterday, Rachel Reeves said “nothing is off the table” in its discussions with the US over the new tariff measures. But it’s the Chancellor’s anti-growth budget which must be reversed with tax cuts and other incentives that will bring back trade for businesses in Britain. You cannot tax yourself to growth.
Furthermore, the fantasy of Ed Miliband’s net zero by 2050 must be dismantled. While Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has realised its impossibility, it’s a pity the party didn’t admit it when they were in government and could do something about it.
Globalist group think has been the downfall of Britain and it’s good to see that Starmer at least realises we are in a new age. Cheap foreign labour is no longer the answer to everything whereas nimbler, sharper nations should use their sovereignty to compete with other nations on de-regulation, lower taxes and realistic energy policies.

Thanks to Brexit, we have now joined that freedom cohort that can chart their own destiny. Trump has shown the way with his disruption of globalisation and we should nip in behind him, taking advantage of being more culturally allied to him than others.
Starmer knows there is a great prize to be had by sticking close to America and yet I just feel his own prejudices and that of the international elite will not allow him to truly help his people by cutting all the chains that bind our entrepreneurial nation.
If there was ever a crisis in which to act decisively, it is now. Be bold Prime Minister, sack Reeves and Miliband and show the world we are open for business. Trump is not the enemy but our guide towards making Britain great again and giving our people a secure and prosperous future. Stay calm and surf the economic waves.
