Every year £250bn goes in profits to businesses that have been privatised since Margaret Thatcher, while about £80bn goes in profits to Private Landlords.
That is £330bn a year that should be going to the Government.
8 times the cost of Brexit.

The irony of MP's (who are claiming far more in benefits than their already generous wages) complaining about benefits being too expensive is not lost on anyone.
Except them.

If you got rid of Brexit you would be able to compensate WASPI women, get rid of the two child benefit cap, have no disability cuts, still have the Winter Fuel Allowance, free school meals, no University Tuition Fees.
And you would have only spent half of it.

I don’t think the Government will be thanked at the ballot box for being weak towards a bully, and bullying towards the weak.
Punching down on welfare recipients while pleading with Trump for a trade deal is an instant ick. So fwiw, I think I do support retaliatory tariffs.

Brexiters crowing about being hit with a 10% Trump tariff, rather than 20%. Ffs. Brexit costs us far more than 10% on goods to the US. Every day. We now have *both* to contend with, without the leverage of a powerful bloc. A crappy deal won’t save us.

Periodic crashes are good for the rich. Bottoming out stocks, gutting the working class, destroying small biz/landlords & creating widespread foreclosures allows big capitalists to scoop everything up cheap. And the corporate state is there to protect/insure them in the process.

If cutting more benefits, starving the poor and having more austerity was the solution, the economy would already be booming.
We've been doing it for 15 years and all its done is make everything worse. Only a total idiot or Keir Starmer would think more austerity is the solution to austerity
