I think we all knew how bad things are. But the mystery for me is just where have all the taxes gone that we have been paying for the past 14 years? Accommodation of illegal immigrants and other controversial expenditures are relatively small amounts from the Public Purse, so what has happened to the rest of it I would like to know?

Paying a fortune for consultants at every turn instead of taking responsibility themselves for doing their jobs; vast overexpenditure on eg. PPE, HS2, Rwanda etc; refusal to impose relatively small tax increases on corporations and the absurdly wealthy due to a mistaken belief that ‘trickle-down economics’ actually works while watching profits leech out of the country’s economy and into private offshore bank accounts; the list is endless, frankly

Tax raises for corporations and the wealthiest. How hard is that? The notion that tax breaks for corporations and wealthy citizens spur “innovation” is patently false. IF the recipient of a tax cut uses that money to hire people, train people, grow the infrastructure, etc, those claims would be justified. More money in the hands of the working class is what grows an economy as that money is spent and not reinvested unto stock schemes. Making money is NOT productive for anyone but shareholders and executives.

@@stephenconway2468 look at the figures we save over 90 billin so far in EU subsidy. Services are growing.

Of course the 350 million per week is related to the EU - and the NHS has had more than that since then. Nothing wrong with cutting departmetns if they aren't producing anything. Nothing wrong with tax in areas to nudge behaviour. Look at the figures. The brexit costs were a one off and with proper leadership we should be making money through new trade deals. The truth there is that UK doesn't actually produce anything that good that can truly compete worldwide, the Brits need their cosy little club.
