Comment on Rachel from accounts causes the economy to shrink. Blames everyone else.

The UK is currently ranked by businesses as the second best economy to invest in.
And if you’re ready to point at the 0.1% contraction in January and blame “Rachel from accounts”, you by extension must also believe that the 0.4% growth in December was also her doing.

I blame her for the pathetic 0.4% growth in December. She inherited the fastest growing economy in the G7 with low inflation. Now inflation is going up, growth has plummeted and businesses are firing the lowest paid staff and curbing their new hires as a DIRECT RESULT of the disastrous budget.
Not to mention pensioners going hungry to be able to afford to heat their homes, food bank use is in the rise again and next they are coming for the disabled, weakest and poorest in society with their looming inhuman welfare cuts.
They are planning on sending more SEND children to mainstream schools that aren’t equipped to handle them which will be damaging for the schools, other pupils and the SEND children. All in the name of saving money at the expense of the most vulnerable children in our country.
They are removing our rights to free-speech. Trawling social media looking for right wing comments and arresting people for hurty words on the internet. Making employers legally responsible to ensure their staff never get offended while at work. NOBODY has the right to go through life without being offended.
They have already removed our right to privacy by restricting the use of end-to-end encrypted services while loudly claiming its to protect the children. Bollocks, it’s to monitor for anti-government behavior among the general population.
Hell, we don’t even have freedom of THOUGHT anymore. A woman was arrested for not divulging the content of a SILENT PRAYER near an abortion clinic. Not for being near the clinic, not for praying, but for not explaining what she was praying for.
Labour supporters are very quick to point out that regulations that have enabled this Orwellian surveillance to happen are all Conservative inventions. Which for the most part is true.
What is also true is that while in opposition Labour very loudly and publicly opposed all of them with Kier Starmer himself bringing evidence to the house that cutting the winter fuel payment will result in 4,000 deaths.
Now they are in power we see them not only embracing policy they were so opposed too just 12 months ago but actually abusing this power to rid the people of as many rights as possible.
Sp to sum up. Don’t you DARE try and defend this government when their record speaks for itself. They are liars, a disgrace, dangerous, anti-British and the biggest threat this country has faced in 80 years.
They were elected on a manifesto of lies and are guilty of deceiving the voting British people.

Such a long stream of bullshit.
0.4% growth in a single month is not pathetic, that’s great. Do that every month and you have nearly 5% yearly growth - absolutely unheard of for a developed economy. On what planet is 0.4% in a month pathetic?!
We had a temporary increase after a recession. That’s not sustained growth. Conservatives didn’t suddenly crack how to enable permanent explosive growth.
No they are not. The fabled mass unemployment after the budget never materialised.
Businesses rated the UK as the second best country to invest in after the budget. The facts don’t seem to be lining up with your opinion.
Nope. Not only are their pensions going up by a huge amount, the WFA is means tested. Poorer people still get it. The wealthy don’t.
Probably for the best. The current solution is rubbish. My nephew has to travel two hours each school day, in a private taxi, because that’s the only suitable SEND school for him. That’s an insane system. It would be much better to restructure the system for more local support.
Arresting people for inciting violence is a good thing.
God your whole comment is full of such nonsense misinformation. Stop. You’re not convincing anybody.
Imagine actually thinking that Labour are damaging the country more than the Tories did. Christ on a bike. If you put your brain in a cat’s body, you’d bark.

Typical lefty propaganda.
You continue to live in your bubble of ignorance if you like.

Facts are lefty propaganda now…
The far right are the people living in a bubble separate from reality.
And imagine being someone who likes star trek enough to have a reference to it in their username, yet be far right. Incredible lack of perspective.
