@CrewkerneMan@DigitalBasilisk Wasn't it the Tories who brought in Universal Credit and PIP?
Was it mot the Tories who set the rules?
Are we including Pension in the welfare bill?
In 2020 welfare was 230B
In 2023 welfare was 280B
@latimeralder@MikeWheeler14@SConwaySmith@KathrynPorter26 But what about the ยฃ2.7B added to bills because suppliers went bankrupt during the gas price surge in 2022? Thats another ยฃ94 per household so if you add that on then it's closer to 25% directly due to gas price rises.
@RedWallPleb ยฃ35B was to state pension
Debt interest was another 30B
Public sector wages and procurement - approx 40B (which is similar to public sector)
Social care 10B
NHS up 40B
The UK has been underfunded for almost a generation and it costs a lot to fix issues with foundations.
@skiprat1965@Met4CastUK I think it's more remarkable this is after the 4th wettest winter for Sothern England and you'd never be able to tell from these satellite images
@octaveoctave88@TheSnowDreamer Why care about 10,000 years ago when today's rate of warming is already overwhelming human infrastructure and natural ecosystems?
@lapogus1@RaySand17710097@TheSnowDreamer What about Kew, Wisley and the fact the hottest temperature ever recorded was in Conings?
both historically (2003 which was Faversham) and by modern day (Lincolnshire) the hottest temps were not in an urban heat island zones
@wingy_b@Met4CastUK@metoffice If you get cancer 3 years after you stop smoking did the act of not smoking cause you to get cancer or the 40 years of smoking?
@Krenkx@Eccothe2k a council tax figure of 2.4k for the uk your home is worth almost 700k, based on your ยฃ900 worse off figure. That means your home value is higher than 92% of homes.
If this were discussed as income, your wage would be 80k
This is based purely thr worse off figure and averages
