That's £579,000,000 a day. £24,000,000 an hour. £402,000 a minute. £7,000 a second.

Merry Christmas one and all!

That's over 10 times what we were borrowing at the time of the 2010 general election, when a Conservative party in opposition said we were borrowing too much and went on an austerity drive.

So, for all the jobs that were lost due to austerity, the services we lost due to austerity, the pay freezes that affected many people due to austerity, and we're borrowing 10 times fecking more? Even with the cost of Covid, any claims that the Tories are the only party who know how to run the economy must be filed under 'Total Bullshit'.
