The NHS’s ‘non-jobs’ bonanza?

Wednesday-Thursday blog

Some people might have the impression that ‘our’ NHS is in crisis. There are over seven million on waiting lists, the junior doctors are on strike yet again, other NHS employees are considering strike action, our survival rates for some cancers are the lowest of 18 OECD countries and compensation for inadequate […]

Ever wondered why your taxes are going up, up, up?

Tuesday blog

If you’re wondering why the ghastly Rachel Reeves is going to bludgeon us all with more tax rises in her autumn budget, here are a few possible reasons:

£7 billion to pay for importing 25,000+ Afghans most of whom never did anything at all to help British forces during the pointless Afghanistan […]

Disabled? Pull the other one

Thursday-Friday blog

Here’s a comparison of disability rates and disability payments for ten European countries. The countries are ranked in order of the most generous to the least generous.

No Darren you idiot, businesses won’t be able to “suck it up”

Don’t believe the BBC’s “economy grew” lies

Will we be lied to about the Rachel Reeves recession?

They’re laughing at us while they destroy the economy

Wednesday-Thursday blog

I’m not sure why this short video appeared when I was on YouTube. I suppose it’s because I watch quite a lot of YouTube videos about politics and economics.

This video features the Tory Shadow Chancellor, Mel Stride, laying into the useless Reeves for wrecking the British economy. Stride’s speech is […]
