It’s only your living standard going up with those freebies you keep still getting from the party donors

Why would we have to borrow. £8.6 billion on illegal immigrants and £8.2 billion on foreign aid. Just stop them 2 stop giving billion to those that can't work because there too depressed stop paying to over paid civil servants politicians and that's the country sorted. 🇬🇧🇬🇧💪💪

Well £9 billion of the 22 is the pay rises committed to the unions. Then the bank of England reduced rates to the government freeing up a further £10 billion. Therefore you should really just blame £3 billion on the Tories.

“Invest” is a very vague word. Borrowing should only ever be for infrastructure investment. Not in building a more diverse future, or in fighting climate change, of anything similar bullshit wise

O, the 22 billion ⚫️, Comrade? Strange how Labour governments borrow...and, as a consequence, wreck the country. 😡
