[@joescheffer4919]

@@DilbertWhiteheadtell me one socialist policy that UK implemented. And I mean proper socialism, no woke culture or culture war BS (which is what the Labour Party does). Also “benefits” is not a valid either, as welfare systems have existed since the Roman republic. What I mean is systematic labour reform that have placed the means of productions in direct control of the workers, either through cooperatives or a more Leninist approaches. The UK has done the opposite, it has sold its industry to foreign countries and relied on Russian gas.

The government has been working under Tories budget and will do so until next April, therefore, this is why Sunak called the election when he did, he knew what was about to happen and there was nothing anyone could do to prevent this outcome for his budget.

[@timg1246]

If we are 'flat lining' with GDP, that is actually, on a per capita basis, a reduction. That is because we are adding more than 1% to our population every year. Every single social and economic problem we have traces either directly or indirectly, back to un-controlled immigration.

[@walkaz]

Add 1% that contributes nothing and takes everything

[@PeterPete]

The UK is a reactionary Government, it doesn't invest in its future. For example, the UK has the oldest housing stock in Europe. It has nothing to do with immigration.

[@kpace8605]

As a business owner I have ceased all new staff hires, we have been hit hard by this governments lack of action for small businesses. Business rates are a joke, now we have to pay more per employee with this increase in employers NI.
