I grew up in a Britain with secure well-paid jobs, social housing, final salary pensions, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition and student grants, and affordable rail fares. I'll never believe it's impossible to have those things.

Despite an offer being received from a prospective buyer of The Cross Pipes, which dates back to 1762, who wishes to run it as a pub with bed and breakfast accommodation, the Georgian building will be sold to the highest bidder

"The EU opened up less than the UK did, but its massively bigger economy means that New Zealand's tariff savings just for kiwi fruit will be bigger than all the gains from the entire UK deal"
As George Osborne is trending ... Do their voters really believe that austerity was somehow necessary or beneficial for the state of the overall economy? Because that's in tatters, so clearly the policy was flawed. Why are Tories not blamed for this error & the damage it's done?
70% of central London properties sold this year bought with cash - How much is hot money?
Foreign money creating market bubbles, pushing up prices.
Normal folks can't get on the housing ladder. Those who try face high mortgage costs.
Govt doing nothing.

2013 George Osborne privatised Royal Mail. 36,500 people who tried to buy shares received nothing at all, while 93,000 were given the minimum offering of £750 worth. But Georgie boy's Best Man Peter Davies was able to get his mitts on £50m in shares which made £18m in 24 hours.
"..and the Lord said I was hungry and you said you can make a meal for 30p, I was thirsty and you filled my water with shit, I was a stranger and you sent me to Rwanda, I was sick and you asked whether I had health insurance..."
A reminder that Rishi Sunak spent his entire leadership campaign talking about how “committed” he was to tackling climate change in order to leave a better world behind him for his daughters.
On the 75th #NHS Anniversary - as the #Tories share their undying love for our #NHS.

It's all over. Just recycled bullshit from the previous recycled bullshit which was itself recycled from god knows how many decades ago. Someone needs to show some kindness and quietly turn off the life support machine.
