[@Britain4775]

Proudest achievement of the Sunak: 1. Absolute poverty: UK sees biggest rise for 30 years. The figure jumped to 12 million in 2022-2023, a rise of 600,000. 2. Britain’s record legal migration numbers. 3. We look at current government unfunded state pension and public pension liabilities and call it a ponzi scheme as it is unfunded and like to fall apart or more likely the amount promised may not be delivered. The UK government currently has almost £5 trillion worth of pension liabilities which it will have to pay in the future (£1.2 trillion for public service pensions and £3.84 trillion in respect of the state pension). Most of these are unfunded, meaning that they are largely paid out of annual tax revenues and the bill for them is being passed on to future generations because today’s government is not putting money aside to cover them.

@@davidcooks2379 I'd argue that the coalition years rode on the waves of Blairite economics. As the global crash softened, the good work of the last Labour government carried for a short time before terrible Tory economics reduced government investment in our society and weakened our economy again. We expect nothing less from them though. Have the Tories ever truly improved out economy without severe long-term drawbacks? I doubt it, despite all of their branding to the contrary.
