âThe whole bill for balancing the public finances is being sent to the already hardest hit in society. It's just a choice made by a government that cares about the strong, a brutal one.â
MP Li Andersson (LA).

Austerity is a False Economy that has Brought the Britainâs Roof Crumbling Down
Collapsing school buildings has exposed how the Tories failed
It's the most obvious example of the reckless & self-defeating approach taken by the Tories
Since 2010 Tories have cut infrastructure spending as a share of GDP by a third

@sjwrenlewis on blistering form this morning:
'The whole current system, where dangerously crumbling concrete is kept in place because fixing it would require some borrowing, is predicated on a kind of deficit fetishism that treats reducing government borrowing as more important than almost anything else, including teaching children'!
Its sensible & prudent to invest in social #infrastructure.
If you read one thing today, make it this!

The game plan is clear:
attack the public services via defunding & stressing the workforce;
use #austerity to claim money is tight, to reduce real wages;
claim: 'we'd like to run better public services, but we just can't get the staff'!

50 richest UK families hold more wealth than the entire bottom 50% of the population.
Must end their tax perks - capital gains and dividends are taxed at lower rates than wages. Why?
End the use of trusts to dodge inheritance tax.

It will take the UK a very long time to extricate itself from the wreckage of 14 years of Tory misrule - & I have * zero* confidence that a @UKLabour government under âSirâ Keir (#KidStarver) #Starmer is up to the job of âbuilding back betterâ!
To the contrary, I fear they will just manage our decline slightly more effectively but just as corruptly!

I don't have the expertise to lay blame, but it sure looks like the #IMF and forced #austerity are major contributors.
