Do you remember David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak?
They spent 14 years cutting benefits, do you remember how much better off everyone else was?
No, because it all goes to the very richest.

What do they do?
There's no products to sell, none to buy, nothing to change.
It's literally treating sewage and building reservoirs, neither of which they do.
Nationalise and fire them all.
