We've reached the point where Britain's political debate is dominated by Count Binface.

Meanwhile, the Government has borrowed £274 billion since taking office.

Maybe it's time we spent less time laughing at the circus and more time asking who's paying for it.

[Jamie Jenkins @statsjamie]

More spending. More tax. More borrowing.

Britain’s debt is hitting £3 trillion, costing £110bn a year in interest. Even the OBR says it's unsustainable.

Andy Burnham’s PR stunts aren't a plan to fix a doom loop, it's just managed decline.

Watch the full breakdown below.

Be honest: How much more tax is enough? Drop your thoughts. 👇

The World: Going to a pub to watch football at 1am on a Monday is madness.

England:

[Mees Wynants @MeesWynants]

Only 8 million people pay for the entire United Kingdom.

The UK has 70 million people. 40 million pay no tax at all. Of the 30 million who do, only 8 million pay more into the system than they take out. They are funding a government that keeps importing more people who take more out than they put in.

This is pure economic and civilizational suicide of the UK.

[(((Evs))) @Tory_Brexit69]

Remeber this, Labour had 402 MP's, and not one of them was good enough to replace Starmer.

They had to have a by-election by a Labour MP resigning, to get someone in to replace him.

Thats the quality of the MP's running the country.

If you want to summarise just how messed up the United Kingdom is in a single sentence:

The UK government believes that 11 year olds are too young to watch YouTube but old enough to block their puberty and render themselves infertile.

[Jamie Jenkins @statsjamie]

🚨 New - The UK has 192,000 fewer payrolled employees than when Labour took office.

That’s not growth.

That’s employers cutting back.

💷 Jobs tax up
📉 Payroll jobs down
🍽️ Hospitality hit
🛒 Retail hit
🏭 Manufacturing hit

Rachel Reeves needs to resign — for the sake of Britain.

Her economic plan is failing in the real world.

Imagine living in a society where government has to permit these things

[Jamie Jenkins @statsjamie]

🚨 NEW: 300,000 households where work has never existed in Britain — the highest on record.

🎓 Not students.
💼 Not people between jobs.
📉 Not a temporary blip.

These are households where nobody has ever worked.
Britain’s worklessness crisis is deeper than unemployment.

❓ Is the welfare system too generous — or has Britain simply stopped expecting work?

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden told Peter Mandelson that Labour MPs always ask "who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others"

[Jamie Jenkins @statsjamie]

🚨 Starmer’s Big Answer Is More Europe — No Wonder Voters Are Walking Away

He claims Brexit made Britain poorer.

But since the Brexit vote:

UK real GDP: +12.1%
Germany real GDP: +6.0%

So why is Starmer treating Brussels like the answer?

£100,000 in. £3.30 out.

A working life of National Insurance contributions buys you, at retirement, £3.30 a week extra over the person who never paid in.

Less than a latte.

The contributory state pension is dead. Almost nobody is told. 🧵

BREAKING NEWS

“Furious” Starmer was not told local elections had taken place yesterday.

The PM claims civil servants kept him in the dark until this morning.

He has ordered an enquiry into why the elections had gone ahead without his knowledge.

“I thought we’d cancelled them” he told Sky News.
