@markohenry5891 debt to gdp was 62% in 2010 after 9 years of Austerity and Cameron's corporate tax giveaways it was 92% with near zero growth and an average fall in real average wages of 3% The worst decade economically since the Napolionic wars

He has 2 hopes of winning the next election Bob Hope and No Hope The economy has been completely screwed over, Brexit is an economic car crash and factions in his party are fighting over an alternative reality of magic unicorns if only we Brexit right and harder the ERG still believe in low tax even with 2.7 trillion of debt and won't let Sunak cut a deal over the Protocol He's already made mistakes this week no getting rid of Braverman and sidelining COP cause who gives a shyte about the environment Sunak Is a ex hedge fund manager the qualification of which are an economics degree and no soul Hedge funds are the leeches of the banking sector wrecking profitable companies by asset stripping debt loading and redundancies they know the cost of everything and the value of nothing

@markohenry5891 we had prosperity with Blaire/Brown and 12 yeears of Austerity with now 4 Con leaders. Well over a decade of economic stagnation and mismanagement yet your saying this shtshw could somehow be worse? Example 1 if Cameron hadn't cut the so called green crap UK consumers and government would have spent over 100 billion less on energy. So stick that in your frak pipe and have a good toke that's from rolling back just 1 labour policy

@markohenry5891 go look at the data before shooting your mouth off about no money Under Blair/Brown we had a consistent deficit of around 45% debt to gdp ultra low borrowing costs and an average growth of between 2.5 & 3% In 2010 after Brown had largely dealt with the world banking crisis it was 62% expected to rise over the next couple of years before falling as the economy grew. The Cameron administration closed the economy completely down by removing 40 billion from the public sector to put that into context of the 40 billion 1/3 would go back in taxes it generates a multiplier in the economy of 1.6 so your effectively removing 104 billion from the economy or = 4.3% gdp or 34.66 billionin taxation This economic cluster fk was made even worse by Cameron in 2015 with unfunded corporate tax cuts which drove up the deficit by 2019 to 92% of GDP 12 years on numerous Academic papers from the likes of the LSE telling them tax cuts + Austerity has the opposite effect to the bilge of lies there pu ping out and here we are At least Rachel Reeve has an economics degree and studied the the catastrophic effects of Austerity + Tax cuts +Energy Policy + Brexit on the pitiful state of our economy My bill is in the post for the compressed economics lesson now go read some of the academic papers from the LSE on this topic and learn
