// Better start planting another magic money orchard! //

Mr Rishi the Government’s magic money orchardist has just cultivated £355bn this financial year, out of thin air.
I’m surprised you have the gall to accuse other parties of printing money.

Must be more than that, sunk?

Spicerack,
It soon will be.
He has planted another forest of magic trees and will borrow £234Billion in 2021.

Spicerack,
Perhaps you are thinking of the UK national debt which is £2.5 Trillion.

I have from time to time. Same as the English version: nebulous doom-mongering waffle but with a different accent and a tidier haircut.

Mr Rishi was able to do just that because the United Kingdom is considered a safe bet. If it wasn’t the money markets would have let him know. Whether an Independent Scotland or Wales could do likewise is somewhat debateable. An independent England almost certainly could.

Good to know the Government’s Magic Money Trees are virtually limitless. The International markets will give us whatever we want. Much to the relief of the debt junkie in No.11.

Unfortunately the debt junkie had very little choice. The government (along with most others worldwide) chose to close the country down in order to deal with the pandemic. Short of seeing people who were unable to work perish in the gutters, the money for their sustenance had to come from somewhere.
