@ChrisMayLA6 The #deregulation of the #financial #markets on both sides of the #Atlantic led directly to the #global financial #crash of 2007-8, & the #political nostrums of the #Tory #governments from 2010-24 led to reduced real #social #spending & greater #poverty & #inequality here in the #UK, with diminished #average #life #expectancy as a result. These are FACTS - & they favour the #Left!

#consumer #spending has been much weaker in all the major #European countries than in the US since the pandemic. The reason appears to be a lack of confidence among European households, who tend to
react more to uncertainty than their US counterparts, chart @JPMorganAM

@Stevenheywood It isn't true that #UK #Government #spending on #benefits is "ballooning". That is a totally false #narrative, not only put out by #Labour, #Tory & #ReformUK #politicians, but the #rightwing #media.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/jun/14/assisted-dying-bill-return-commons-lauren-edwards. The #LabourParty really hates #disabled #people. They failed in their last attempt to force people with #disabilities to kill themselves - now they're having another go. The idea of #spending more on #disability #benefits or #palliative #care instead appears to be #anathema to them. They certainly don't give a damn about our #rights! They DISGUST me!
