“The plan is working”
Food costs up 15%, mortgage has soared by £100s, NHS being ruined, Brexit is stupid.
Was it migrants? Or a corrupt Tory party and this clown?

You don’t understand how money works.
The rich don’t provide all the wealth, the productivity of people does.
The rich don’t provide money, that comes from central banks.

So we found the destroyer of schools?
And it is none other than Rishi Sunak, who in 2021 halved the budget for school repairs despite the Department of Education asking for an increase.

£500m subsidy to protect what looks like 5,000 jobs at £100k a job.

We buy hardly any oil or gas from Russia historically? So is Russia just being mentioned as a bogey name (of course).
This is the idea of putting our population in fear, it is disgraceful.
Ofgem allows British Gas to print £1 billion in profits in six months during a cost of living crisis promoted by energy prices. And Chris O’Shea below gets £4.5m pay as CEO
Isn’t this the big contributor to inflation? Yet government just watches this happen and does nothing.

The UK has too many of these problems. Administrators covering up crimes and a failure to deal with whistle blowing.

You pretend you care about migration, when we have record numbers entering the country via perfectly legal methods and then you use the boats as a way of deflecting attention away and blaming asylum seekers. Many of whom have been impacted by UK policies.
You lie, lie and lie.
Policies straight out of a focus group.
Promises we know they abandon with the prevailing wind.

No central banks print it/issue it.
You are confusing retail banks with central banks.
Rich people have their money mainly from the productivity of people or the increase of assets. That’s not to say the entrepreneur doesn’t have a role and shouldn’t be awarded with more money.

As Isabel knows this requires abandoning the EHCR, has been described as cruel and deadly by the UN, hasn’t worked in other countries, and still would only apply to a handful of boats, and would have to be a policy France agree with

Very clear inflation is going nowhere. Rishi Sunak is claiming success off falling global energy prices but has clearly failed to contain any inflation within the country.

Disappointing.
This buys into the myth that there are Brexit benefits. Of course we can make the UK work, but we can’t make Brexit work, all it did was make us more distant from our closest partners.
