@LoftusSteve @stevepennick Osbourne was chancellor for 6 years of the 14 years of Tory austerity.
By 2024/25 core government (per person) council funding had fallen by 18%.

@KingBill @ejwwest @Parody_PM @Frances_Coppola The oil companies do.

WE don't.

@RPShah_econ @jackbowley78 @PJTheEconomist In your profile summary.

[Andy @AndyStapley4]

@RPShah_econ @jackbowley78 @PJTheEconomist Sure. You can't even use a comma correctly.

[Andy @AndyStapley4]

@KingBill @ejwwest @Parody_PM @Frances_Coppola We don't.

@gazi1684 @ianrich15813274 When the UK the binding rulings of the CJEU ended.
Rulings of the ECHR will be taken into account but ultimate legal authority remains with UK courts and Parliament

@PVWmkhKH8cvrMQs @LoftusSteve I replied to the original post!

The chain that came later......well came later.

[Andy @AndyStapley4]

@PVWmkhKH8cvrMQs @LoftusSteve The OP states that welfare spending is 26% of UK GDP.

26% of UK GDP is about £650 billion.

What was his source for this figure?

[Andy @AndyStapley4]

@Taylan_A_ @LoftusSteve According to the ONS 35% of Government spending, not 35% of GDP.

[Andy @AndyStapley4]

@NikosTerizakis @grok @LoftusSteve Is it?

In the original graph Croatia for example spends around 13% of GDP on welfare.

It only rises to 23% when health costs are added.

[Andy @AndyStapley4]

@NikosTerizakis @grok @LoftusSteve Yes! Thanks.

OBR give welfare spending at around 11% of GDP as the original graph shows.
Social expenditure was around 23%

[Andy @AndyStapley4]

@latimeralder @Braggsche Is irradiation constant?

Could you please show your source for this.

A link to the source will be fine. I don't mind reading a report.

[Andy @AndyStapley4]

@latimeralder @Braggsche You may be but you dishonestly presented your "summary" as an actual quote.

Tut tut.

[Andy @AndyStapley4]

@latimeralder @Braggsche As I said.

You can't even read an extremely simple graph.

No wonder the IPCC report is beyond you.

[Andy @AndyStapley4]

@latimeralder @Braggsche You posted that the report said

'we all agree its bad, but we haven't measured it, can't agree on what to measure, can't show much data. But its bad, really bad'

It doesn't.

Dishonest.

[Andy @AndyStapley4]

@latimeralder @Braggsche To quote you

"Seaevel is rising at 1 foot per year" (sic)

Each foot rise in sea level would mean the loss of 100 million hectares of land, a year.

You do the maths.

[Andy @AndyStapley4]

@latimeralder @Braggsche To correct you (again).

It's a report not an "article"

Your supposed quote from the report does not exist.

[Andy @AndyStapley4]

@latimeralder @Braggsche You don't even understand what you post.

Don't bother to read the IPCC report you won't even understand the titles never mind the data.

[Andy @AndyStapley4]

@latimeralder @Braggsche I have given you a link to the "actual data".

That you choose to ignore it probably explains your ignorance.
