    I had a nice little engineering design consultancy, science/robotics etc. invested £25k in it, but Rishy Sunaks IR35 put a stop to it, I have my own invention I wanted to develop, seemed like a good way to do it financially, balancing time, money etc.
    Can’t see much future in the UK now, took a full time job in spacecraft R&D in the UK, it’s taken over my life time wise and could only afford to do it because I’ve paid off my mortgage, don’t have a car loan, so can live on an abysmal salary for a bit.
    Getting US agencies offering me 3x 4x salaries in space, robotics engineering etc, UK agencies still contact me asking if I can unblock toilets and use a jetwash because I’m an “astronautics engineer”!

    The UK economy officially collapsed in December 2021. Ever since that month debt surpassed 100% of GDP. Meaning the government is spending more money than the country is producing and it's rising every year. It will never go below zero so the pound has officially collapsed.

    You could house a million migrants for that.

    Stop sending £millions to Elensky to buy munitions to keep the war going even though many geo-political commentators are waking up to the realisation that Ukraine will not win and thousands are dying for naught in the process.

    the country will be sold off a piece at a time after corrupt individuals like sunak have siphoned off the bulk for themselves and then eventually when people are starving the population will be put in factories and fields as cheap labour to supply wealthier countries with a growing middle class such as china/india under a new regime to pay back the debt.

    ALL of our Regulators are counter-productive. Run by entitled civil servants who are just meddling with bureacracy. There is never any price to pay because no-one is ever sacked. Civil servants and politicians have been dismantling the private sector by slow death – taxes and bureaucracy

    Government and the Civil Service, the WEF Puppets are Totally out of Control, Bent on Destroying the UK because of Brexit and our Weak and Useless Politicians/MPs that Have No Idea about Running a Country…. Our Royal Family is just as Corrupt and Useless for the People of the UK and Want the UK back in the EU with King C being King of the EU…..
    Why are we Spending so Much on Funding the Proxy War in Ukraine taking on More Debt…There Should be a Law Stopping Government from Spending What They Have Not Got… Its a F..king Disgrace……
    Anyone who Votes Tory, Labour, Lib Dem or Green in the Next Election Deserve What They Get…..
    People Wake Up…. the UK Does Not Have a Real Democracy… we would be Far Better Off with an Elected Lord Protector with the Power to Over Rule our Corrupt Government on Bad Costly Policies and Putting a Stop to Government Over Spending increasing the Country's Debt CAUSING MORE INFLATION and Debasing our Currency/Money….
    The Lord Protector must be a Man of the People for the People,,, so No Politicians, Top Civil Servants ect including any members of their families must never be allowed…..
    Everyone Should Vote in the Next Election… either vote for None of the Above ie Reform UK or Spoil you Vote ballot Paper maybe write Lord Protector across it,, to show your disgust with the current Political System and Corrupt Parties….

    Almost as if Rishi and the hunt are trying to crash the UK economy deliberately, now why would they want to do that.

    Bing Borrow, achieve a measly 0.4% growth (of which the GDP is mostly made up of GP visits), temporarily stave off a recession, and Leave the mess for Labour to clean up. Thankyou CONservatives.

    December 18, 2023 at 1:58 am

    Enough is enough….is enough! Time to hit the brakes on spending. A fortune was wasted on COVID lockdowns. This is a national emergency. We should be on a war footing. The Conservatives and Labour need to be honest with us all. You cannot have it all on the never never. Like Mrs T said you have to earn it for UK plc. Reduce Corporation Tax and encourage small businesses to grow!

    Most of the food prices in supermarkets have more or less doubled in the last year. 100% food inflation is more like it.

  34. @valleycommando6089

    December 18, 2023 at 1:58 am

    We throw billions at the NHS it’s been broken for decades, yet no politician has the bollocks to say it’s broken, their answer is throw more money at it. It needs tearing down and re-building

  35. @valleycommando6089

    December 18, 2023 at 1:58 am

    1.5 billion goes on illegal immigration and asylum seekers. We build roughly 200,000 new homes a year, immigration is set to hit 1 million this year-there’s your housing shortage getting worse, waiting list for NHS worse, they’ll never come down
    The government loves high prices = more tax and VAT for their coffers
    This country is screwed all the parties are the same

  36. @S.teve.

    December 18, 2023 at 1:58 am

    Debt and interest costs are making the Elite more wealthy, their plan is working well.
    Most of government spending is basically corrupt access to tax payers money.

  37. @cncit

    December 18, 2023 at 1:58 am

    Cutting taxes starves the public finances so less gets spent on public services and less money goes to councils. Before these figures came out, Rishi as chancellor, had orchestrated the printing of £500 billion of new money and borrowed £200 billion from institutions such as pension funds, all during the pandemic. That money ended up in the bank accounts of wealthy property holders, mortgage lenders, landlords, energy companies and supermarkets due to furlough payments and defaulted Covid-19 loans. Companies were being advised by solicitors to go bust immediately after receiving those Covid-19 loans. Rishi was warned against this but chose to ignore the advice. Very little of that £700 billion ended up with the people who really needed it, but those same working class people, who didn't get any of that money, are now having to pay it back via their taxes, at super high interest rates due to the Bank of England being forced to up interest rates to stave of our highest in Europe inflation rate. Inflation that has been caused by printing too much new money! You couldn't make it up, by the way, just for the commentators, Labour had absolutely nothing to do with any of this so why are they bringing Labour into the argument 🤔🤔

This comes as Andy Burnham is set to become the UK’s seventh Prime Minister in a decade, with seemingly no one challenging the “King of the North” for the country’s top job.
