#r4 #youandyours to those complaining about insufficient levels of consumer spending (because people are saving, as encouraged to by government) adversely affecting the UK economy:
The fundamental basis of the economy is flawed.
For a start, manufacturing & export has been in decline for decades.

These were fantastic.
Never came a cropper on them.
Needed to tie laces through the ankle strap to make sure the toe strap didn’t slip off.

Our precious #NHS has been deliberately broken.

Never forget that, when the Conservatives came to power In 2010, our NHS was rated the fairest, most efficient and cost-effective healthcare system in the world and had its highest ever public approval rating.

Reeves says: Our biggest trading partner is the USA.

Er, that’s at least 3000 miles away.

Our biggest trading partner should be the E. U. which is much nearer.

Why is Musk pushing for elections and “regime change” in Ukraine… but not Russia?

Musk & Trump have no interest in democracy, America’s historical guarantees, rule of law, sovereignty or peace.

They’re siding with a murderous dictator to try and break Ukraine - and Europe.

Let's be honest #Brexit was just about the rich avoiding tax wasn't it? All this about taking back control, sunlit uplands, boom times and cheap food and cheap fuel was bullshit.
