#ToryEconomics Explained
In just 20 seconds MP Richard Burgon demonstrated on the BBC last week how £40m could have been raised without any need for cuts. Sadly for the majority of increasingly impoverished Brits the benefactors of the country’s wealthiest in Downing Street weren’t listening. #ToryEconomics #ukpolitics #ToryBudget

@brightonboothy that is what happens when 12 years of #ToryEconomics drain from the coffers & hand out to their Mates (VIP Lanes) & Corps (privatisation). Whilst reducing what is delivered (austerity) to those paying for that money. Then after some #TrussEffect due to #ToryIncompetence... the General public have to 'take the burden' to fill the (subjective) £30Bn hole!

Yet some will still vote for the charlatans
