These are the stats John Healey doesn’t want you to read.
Unemployment will rise to 5% in 2027.
The tax burden is going up AGAIN to the highest since WW2.
By 2031 we’ll be spending £160bn/year on debt interest alone – up £36bn/year.
Borrowing forecasts for the next 5 years have risen £65bn since March.
Households will be worse off in every single year of the five-year forecast than they were in March.
It’ll take until 2029 to get back to 2019 levels of prosperity.
Growth will be abysmal. GDP per capita grows less than 1% in 2027. It’ll peak at less than 2% per year, despite the AI revolution.
The national debt will stay above 95% of GDP.
We are on a fiscal knife-edge. Britain is Broke. Britain needs Reform.
@BritishGas Thanks Donna, I'm struggling to get a phone conversation with anyone including my complaints officer. Can you please get someone to call me to discuss my concerns
I've have issue with my meters @BritishGas since April. I've been messed around for 6 months, the complaints worker is a liar and I can't get anyone to call me. Joke of a company who hide behind AI.
I don’t want to post the video. You’ve all seen it. But I do want to write a love letter…
Dear everyone in Britain, ( even you illegals)
Just so you understand. The poppy is for the boys who never got to grow old. For the boys who were still somebody’s baby, brother, uncle or father. More than 600,000 of them.
It doesn’t matter if you support war, hate your country, think you are a woman (even though you are a man). It doesn’t matter which God you pray to, or if you pray to none at all.
It doesn’t matter who you vote for, what climate narrative you believe, or whether you believe Israel should exist or not!
The poppy isn’t for you!
It’s for those who came before. Those who fought for your right to be weird, annoying or even foreign.
The poppy is how we say thank you. Thank you for giving us time, peace and choice.
And attempting to ban our poppy by declaring it politically divisive isn’t a move towards freedom. It is an act of suppression. Understand that.
The poppy is about love and loss. For you!
So stick your rainbow flags and every other flag where the sun doesn’t shine and just wear your poppy. Those boys did not die as symbols. They died for you!
Did you know that poppies grew across the battlefields where so many fell? As though even the land refused to forget the blood once given to defend it.
So the poppy is for them. For those who came before us and paid in youth, in hope, in breath, in blood, so that we might have the freedom to be arseholes.
So that we might even have the freedom to fight over the ridiculous, the inconsequential and the insane.
Revere it, celebrate it and wear it. The very least you can do is that.
Best
The ordinary people.
Owen Jones came on Triggernometry. After being given lots of speaking time, he was asked a few probing questions and immediately turned the conversation into a gotcha style debate. This naturally resulted in him being destroyed with facts and lots of people on the internet laughing at him.
Now he is so butthurt, he spends his days posting videos no one watches about how he was right about everything. While having me and Francis blocked.
Loser energy.
@BritishGas A43554229 my account number, been having issues since April. Promised call backs that haven't happened, unable to read gas meter at the moment. Not sure how many escalation teams you have but in at about 4.
Since 2010, we’ve blown £200 billion on foreign aid.
And £250 billion on migrant welfare.
We’re spending £100 billion on HS2 and £7 billion on welfare fraud every year.
The yearly benefits bill will be £40 billion higher in 2029 than it is today.
Andy Burnham will cut your pension.
Reform will cut all the insane waste.
