@GoodwinMJ That £3 trillion debt wasn't built overnight, it’s the legacy of 14 years of Tory economic stagnation, pandemic spending, and Truss's mini-budget. You can't fix broken prisons, police, or the economy without investing in growth.
But you knew that already.
@Anjuana55@EstherMcVey1 The UK doesn’t have the 2nd highest minimum wage in the world, and more importantly, if a business can only survive by having taxpayers subsidise its staff via Universal Credit, its business model is broken.
@CPhilpOfficial So it's not due to the:
2008 Financial Crisis.
The COVID-19 Pandemic. (Which was mismanaged by your own party)
Current Energy Crisis. (Also partly caused by your own party)
And 14 years of Tory borrowing, which added approximately £1.57 trillion to the national debt?

You're not being disingenuous here, Rob; you're bare-faced lying.
@griffitha The UK lost out on £59.2bn in unpaid taxes last year— that means 6.4% of all tax owed was avoided, evaded, or accidentally unpaid.
Something the Tories could have worked on when in power for 14 years.
