Growth

[Kit Kat Chunky]

You get pissed of with what the latest Daily Express headline tells you to on that day. You stood by for years cheering on the Tories as they ran our infrastructure into the ground and handed out contracts to their mates. You waved the red white and blue when we got our sovereignty back and laughed when you were getting cheap lobster in covid times on the taxpayer. You are now reaping what you sew - if only this anger was there when the Tories were in power.

You're obsessed with the meaningless parts that you are being told to look at - polls that mean nothing, free money to pensioners that don't need it, bringing farmers closer to the rules that everyone else has to live by, boats full of 'fighting age' men, grooming gangs.

You should start every post with 'I don't know', that would make it easier for us to have some sympathy. It's only what we all already know.

I don't read the Daily Express. I'm guessing you read Socialist Worker.

Rather than respond to your cheap, completing unfounded insults (I guess because you are struggling), lets look at a few facts.

The economy growth is weak (Bank of England press conference today).

The labour market is softening (Bank of England press conference today).

Inflation is higher than it has been for 12 months, and above target (ONS stats).

WFA was taken off all pensioners last winter.

PIP is proposed to be reduced, and expected to carry through parliament when voted upon.

Tax take is reducing due to businesses closing, and flight from the country.

IFS suggesting basic rate income tax will have to increase in the 2025 budget.



Please tell me what this shambolic government is actually doing right. This is now down to them, not what they inherited. Student Union economics.
