Austerity is a False Economy that has Brought the Britain’s 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

The #concrete, which can become less stable over time, was found during a "routine, on-going" investigation.

#Sunak is a #capitalist #enabler.
Completely #incompetent to run a country for the benefit of its people.
#RAAC #concrete scandal is such a perfect metaphor for #BrokenBritain and the consequences of #austerity and #Tory underinvestment.
#Scotland needs #independence …fast!
