This is financial advice and I never give financial advice: DONT LEAVE DURING THE BEAR. If you don’t want to invest…learn. If you don’t want to learn…build. If you don’t want to build observe. DO SOMETHING…other than leave. There is so much opportunity here. Take advantage!

Rishi is polling less than Johnson and Truss. Even though Tory MP's said he's the grown up in charge. I'm really enjoying media and the oh so intelligent elite dance around the elephant in the room. Shhhhh we know want it is but can't say. 😂😂😂

Sounds like they need to tighten their belts and stop spending money on fancy nail art, cigarette and start eating beans on toast more 🤔 …
Which is a genuine conversation i had with a proud conservative today about the "non existant" cost of living crisis, and how prople want to be poor.

On the subject of lack of Governmental funds, perhaps you could do a story on why the UK is still providing financial aid to India when they have a space programme that has just successfully landed on the Moon? Is there an obscure reason why that funding wouldn't be better kept in the UK to pay decent wages to the Police, Teachers, NHS staff, etc.?
@jamesbowskill362
December 18, 2023 at 10:33 pm
The ONLY issue here for the tory party IS ………..in the dying days of their corrupt government/regime , just how much taxpayers cash can anyone of them manage to trouser if they have not already done so…….for sure, some at the top end have made sure of their share & ARE looking forward to their very comfortable 2nd & 3rd jobs incomes…
