Gloomy forecast from the Bank of England
National insurance rise and energy bills going off the scale

Not much levelling up going on is there ? ?

Combine this with how everything is going in the world of politics right now and it would appear we are heading down a rabbit hole

Someone will soon state,Boris is doing a good job .

[naomi24]

Boris is doing a good job. There you go, anne. Sorted.

[Gromit]

Someone will post soon…
‘It would have been worse if Corbyn and Abacus were in charge’.

[naomi24]

Haha! OOO .... the temptation.

[johnny.5]

strong and stable
strong and stable

[naomi24]

That was Mrs May's mantra, johnny ... except she wasn't.

Prime Minister, what have you got to say about falling living standards, the cost of living and a stagnant economy?

PM “Vaccine, vaccine, fwobble, Jimmy Savile, brexit done”.

[davebro]

We've had a rough 2 years - there's got to be some payback.

Life wasn't exactly a bed of roses in the years after WW2.

[ToraToraTora]

do you have any stats to back up your claim of a "record slide in living standards" and also, measured against what exactly?

SB = Gulliver? am I right? I'm not wrong! PMSL!

[douglas9401]

You'd think there was more to worry about in the country than bother with the longest chute ever built..

Wrong as usual
I have absolutely no affiliation whatsoever with the Labour party and would not like to see a Labour government

I have said so in the past do so keep up

I prefer a Tory government but not one led by the biggest liar and diabolical politician to ever enter parliament

But as again I have said the longer he remains in charge the more damage he does and the more gains Labour make
Tories the length and breadth of the country can see it

There is every chance of a hung parliament or even a revolt by the electorate at the next GE and Labour just pip it

You savvy now ?

SB think all that furlough payment and everything else we’ve suffered this last two years,it was and is inevitable it has to be paid for , doesn’t matter who’s in power

[pat2604]

Guess what Sticky - there's been a world wide pandemic. What should we expect other than this?

[gulliver1]

Nothing new here,just the Tory party breaking their manifesto promises.
.. as usual..

Sigh

Again for the hard of understanding
Read the link
Those are the words of the governor of the Bank of England
Watch him in the video
He will give you all the facts and figures you require

But Boris says business is booming !
It is all he ever says at the despatch box these days

Plus they could afford to write of £4.3 billion of Covid fraud !

This is the party that is not increasing taxes they say ?
You are in for a shock come April ! Lol

Was this before a worldwide pandemic? Do you think Labour would have kept us in clover at this time?

Impossible to say but I would imagine the former DPP would not have been pishing several nights away cavorting in Downing St whilst the country was in lockdown

Then lying about it

[pastafreak]

There's always a cause that is valid...in this case the pandemic and other world problems. It's just very depressing for those who cannot make more money, who cannot cut back much, or cannot do other things to "improve their lot ".
