Just Tory MPs being absolutely dreadful at maths

Rishi Sunak wants all kids to learn maths until the age of 18 and stop it being socially acceptable to be bad at maths.
Maybe he should start closer to home...

[@davesmith826]

It's a tired old cliche: a politician claiming the UK is falling behind because not enough of its children are doing maths or STEM subjects. The real reason the UK is falling behind is because people like Sunak run it - and in particular, run it into the ground. Compare the UK's R&D expenditure to countries like Germany, South Korea, Japan and the US and you begin to see where the problems start. Then look at the serial under-funding of public services, including schools, which means it is impossible to churn out skilled workers even if you overhaul things like national curricula. The fact of the matter is this: the Tories do not want a high-wage, world-leading economy because they run or represent businesses that require low investment and low skills. They are incapable of competing on a world stage, which is precisely why Brexit happened and precisely why they are diverting everyone's attention from their shambolic handling of the economy to illegal immigration.

Exactly my thoughts and feelings. To say in the same sentence how people are suffering and conclude it with her mission to help as little as possible is pretty breath taking.

I dislike people sure but I’ve never actively felt as though I hate someone but I think I hate and despise this woman.

I'd happily house them if I had the space and being self employed also, I'd employ them if I could. They're hard working skilled people that have a lot to offer society. Unfortunately they all dream of home and returning to their homeland as soon as possible. Peace x

My local football ground has a capacity of 10,500; if 10,000 turn up it's pretty full.

It'd literally take a life time to fill the last 500 places at this rate.

A country of 65 million people can easily absorb what is in reality a very small number of refugees. Its not like they'll be heading for the dole office. I'd imagine people that have gone through so much to get here would embrace the opportunity in much the same way her parents did. Probably more so because they haven't had the advantage of a more welcoming society her parents enjoyed, unlike the one she advocates...

[@McHab]

Correct - those are small numbers compared to other countries. In 2022 even a small country like Austria had more asylum applications than the UK: 102.000 ( 2022), Spain had 109.000, France 141.000 , Germany 215.000 -( and those numbers do not include ukranian refugees). And the stats for the last 10 years show even a much higher difference. A document about Asylum statistics (House of Commons Library) states : "In 2021, there were around 9 asylum applications for every 10,000 people living in the UK. Across the EU27 there were 14 asylum applications for every 10,000 people. The UK was therefore below the average among EU countries for asylum applications per head of population, ranking 16th among EU27 countries plus the UK on this measure." Of course its not easy to deal with refugees, but I'm sure that Suellas intention is just to find scapegoats and distract from real issues.

[@glenpovey1297]

The UK has 1.6 trillion pounds of national debt. In figures that is 1600000000000 pounds. It is such an impossible figure to comprehend, that an easier way to understand it is to say that it is one million x one million x 1.6. The interest racks up at the rate of 42 pounds per second and the government can barely manage just to repay the interest. In layman's terms, every UK resident owes 25000 pounds... factor in personal debt (credit cards, mortgages) and it becomes 75000 pounds. Bankrupt Britain is surely the legacy of government that is appallingly bad at maths. You cannot run an economy be exporting nothing, importing everything you need and borrowing other countries' money to pay for it all. That is unsustainable and demonstrates not just bad maths but appalling crass stupidity!

I live to see the day when one of these presenters actually says " We have invited you on here to inform the public, not lie to it . Stop taking the piss . In fact go on ! Get off my show and Don't you dare come back ! " "Now can we call security and have this charlatan escorted out , please !" A fantasy , I know. 😒

I am absolutely terrible at maths, but even i can tell when sh*t doesn't add up

[@aidenl5215]

“Forgive me, I need another coffee” You can’t just lie to the public and then when you get called out say it’s because you need another coffee

[@Alison-qd2cm]

Maybe they went to the same school as Diane Abbott!

[@davidroberts6549]

Kay Burley asks these questions in such a condescending way, that are actually nebulous and largely irrelevant, but that she somehow believes to be zingers.

[@mjr3068]

She probably took lessons in how to be condescending and nebulous from the current crop of government "leaders."

[@carnmarth334]

Braverman's awful face appears to be melting. Something seriously wrong with her hanging jaw.

[@paul8161]

Yes there are many ways of treating people....most of different degrees of badly if your in the government 😂

[@chrisashton9218]

No wonder the boy Sunak wants us to work on our maths

[@bluecanary9417]

All of you YouGov employees who worked hard to make that company a success should know that Nadhim Zahawi considers himself to be “self made”

[@henrygingercat]

And your average guy actually votes for them!

[@Matt-vo1ge]

All of them were voted for to be fair. And they didn't just scrape in either.

[@lcg8220]

The police one is even more misleading when you find out that they got rid of the support staff too and those aren't coming back.

[@davidfoster2006]

Never mind the Labour Party’s Diana Abbott is the worst of all at maths she can’t count passed the number 6.

[@lc5176]

Almost as bad as Dianne Abbott

[@petyrkowalski9887]

Was that it? Your best barb?

[@alfhookham]

Crooks every one!

[@peterwhitear7716]

why has she not done more to stop the boats and not keep talking about it like the tories doing

[@verystripeyzebra]

Because there's not much you can do to stop them except opening safe legal routes. They have no doubt calculated that this will mean larger numbers, so have opted for sounding like they've got a workable plan to stop them, they don't.

[@hieroglyph321]

What a shower of ... I know it's often said. ... but the absolute worst administration in living memory .... and I've been around a bit ... and you can criticise Braverman all you like, but Sunak is sitting by and obviously supporting her in her position when any sane person among us would have fired her ... or not even had her near the reigns of power.

[@twisteddancer7773]

Diane Abbott springs to mind straight away

[@rufusharbud3673]

Come on! Yeah she was 1 crap Labour MP, compared to the Total Tory monster party, who don't give 1 fuck about you, or anyone else in this country...But they do give very much attention to their own pockets, through lies, corruption and greed.

[@twisteddancer7773]

​@@rufusharbud3673 There I agree with you most of them are the same which creates a problem of who to vote for

[@rufusharbud3673]

@@twisteddancer7773 No the Tories are the problem... that is a no brainer. They are shielded and funded by main stream media, who don't want the poorer people to have a voice...The rich want to become richer, then they want power. So becomes the devious and shady nature of corruption.

[@Lynnefromlyn]

@@twisteddancer7773 that is the stupidest comment I have read all week. Of course they are not all the same! Jesus wept, no wonder we are in such a state the level of political illiteracy is frightening!
