Pub Mate: "The "U"K🇬🇧 might have to get used to having a broken economy (broken by #Tories) meaning that it can no longer afford nice things like a top-tier world-class public healthcare system.
#Brexit was just the final popping of a huge zit & now we're all covered in its pus; I don't think our current situation will 'fix easily or quickly' but steps 1 & 2 are:
• Ditch the #Tories;
• Ditch #FPTP voting.
Keeping either will keep us screwed."
The story of a thirteen years of #tory government in one graph... they've managed to stay in power while impoverishing the country!
The political move from a focus on material well-being to emphasising #identity politics has served the right very well...
The cost to us; around £10k per annum on this year's figure(s)
It wasn’t refugees or immigrants that caused this

The #HMRC has decided to end the work of its taskforce seeking to claw back fraudulent #Covid loans & support, even while there is a possible £5bn still at risk of being lost.
Why is the HMRC so 'relaxed' about this particular form of fraud I wonder?... could it be the #Tories have told them to reign back on the project because it was coming to near to their chums?
In any case, it makes you winder about the priorities that tis Govt. transmits its departments....
Russia’s energy blackmail has failed.
Thanks to the efforts of EU citizens and businesses, we have cut our gas use by 19%. And our gas storage is still filled at 62%.
We are phasing out Russian pipeline gas by diversifying our energy supplies. In 2022, our LNG imports have increased by 68% compared to 2021.
And we are massively investing in renewables to produce clean energy in Europe.
With European unity and a smart energy policy, we are strengthening our energy independence.
