The story behind this picture.
This guy got bitten by a Rattlesnake it cost him £153k to save his life.
They charged him $83,341.25 for antivenom that cost them $2,500.
That is private healthcare and there was nothing he could do except pay.

So it turns out they spent £715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda.
For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK

In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme
I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions

That's profit from owning the Electricity Transmission that they spend only £150m a year maintaining, and that you used to own only 20 years ago.
Another £100 a year on everyone's bills for their profits.

🔥 This graph is very important.
The Russian govt has been struggling to keep the exchange rate with the USD under 100.
Any panic and there could be a nosedive of the Russian economy.
Russia converted into a war economy in 2022 (in a way European democracies can’t) but it’s now losing control.
