The UK economy is in a terrible state of decline following Brexit. The #nhs is in chaos with a waiting list approaching 8 million. Qualified doctors who are known as #juniordoctors earn £15 per hour and are on strike. Others are leaving the NHS. The UK has the lowest state pensions in Europe. Real wages have not increased since 2007 and there has been the biggest fall in living standards since the 1950's. Sewage is routinely tipped into our rivers and sea by private, often foreign-owned water companies. City centres are derelict with boarded up shops, grafitti and rough sleepers.
#rishisunak continues to rush around telling us that everything is going so well and that he is going to cut taxes despite the dire state of the economy. #keirstarmer who will almost certainly be prime minister before the end of this year continues to claim that he will 'Make Brexit Work' and will do so by Going for Growth without explaining how that will happen.
In the meantime the rich are getting richer, inequality is increasing and the government plans to go after the poor by taxing anyone selling goods online and by secretly inspecing the bank accounts of anyone claiming benefits.
