I would look out for your pensions if either the Tories or Reform come to power, it’s the only viable place to cut the welfare bill. Or just possibly the Tories are lying to you,again. Thanks to the DWP for the stats.

720,000 people even if they were all in London and in this category (which they are not) would be a maximum cost of £18b. Where is the other £27b going to be found…

Off those able to work but are not doing so around 55% have been on benefits for under 12 months (getting a job isn’t always easy). That leaves at most 720,000 long term unemployed which is interesting statistically…

In reality most refugees want to return to their home nations after the cessation of hostilities. It is entirely reasonable to both offer a safe haven and have options for returning people after that is no longer required. All within a legal framework.

The minimum Brexit has cost in tax revenues lost is £40b. That tied to the £50b extra interest we are paying on the Tory debt bomb is a simple explainer of why we have no money without added taxation.
