We've had 5000 days of Tory Rule today 😳 I've done some maths
🔹Since May 2010, the
NATIONAL DEBT HAS INCREASED,
on average,
by a staggering
£380 MILLION A DAY
- EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR #5000DAYS
Which begs the question....
Where has all our money gone?
I wouldn't trust the Tories with my shopping list, let alone the economy 😡
FACTS
David Cameron became PM, after Gordon Brown, on May 11th 2010, 5000 days ago.
In June 2010 he said the national debt was £770 billion (other sources quote £903 billion, but I'll use HIS £770 billion for the calculation)
By end Nov 2023 the National Debt had grown to a colossal £2,670 billion (Source:ONS)
That's an increase of £1,900 billion.
Divide that by 5,000 days of Tory Rule and gross mismanagement.
It means an increase, on average, of c£380 million every single day for 5,000 days.

@CommunitySpeedw It just saves lives and serious injuries, encourages walking and cycling, improves quality of life for local residents and is good for the environment!
@CommunitySpeedw Not sure what the point of this post is. In my experience (which includes as a Speedwatch volunteer) most people drive about 10pm about above the speed limit whatever it is if they can. When we are Speedwatching most drivers see our yellow jackets and reduce their speed!

France just legislated that every parking lot for 80 cars or more must be covered by solar panels
That’s 11GW of new solar (same as 10 new nuclear reactors) powering millions of home - zero new land needed
Climate action is happening, just not at #COP27

Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.”
It wasn’t even this way in late 2019 when I was there last.
Just a few years ago, Paris was choking in car traffic.
This is new. This is leadership.
Cities are a result of choices.

When Ljubljana made its centre car-free there were protests. Only 40% backed it.
10 years on, 97% were against reopening it to cars. Air pollution is down 70%. People love it

@seatsixtyone@srbija_voz_a_d@TomaMomirovic I wanted to do the Bar Belgrade line and then onto Zagreb and home but will instead just do the bit in Montenegro and back to Bari. Such a pity!
@cyclegaz Cars are too big and too well protected. If they were small and made out of paper mâché then their drivers would have to be much more careful!
