It wasn’t functional. It was daylight robbery. Debt increased markedly while services fell off a cliff. Very little growth too.

Basically an asset strip in plain sight.

Lucky you. Try telling the 7 million on waiting lists and the over 50’s who haven’t gone back to work post the pandemic.

Nurses leaving in greater numbers than ever before. Can’t remember how many vacancies there are. Ambulances parked outside hospitals for hours on end. And buildings falling to pieces.

Braverman simply can’t allowed to become PM. Truss may have been a dim, shallow, ideological shambles but Braveman watch’s the likes of Soylent green, Logan’s run, and V for Vendetta and writes down notes !!

Debt increasing was not really a problem. Money was historically cheap and Modern Monetary Policy said this was the way to go. The problem is MMP also says you should take on debt as a result of spending. We somehow took on debt and did fuck all with it, hurting the people and causing reactionary politics to drive the subsequent response
