A policy regime, built from 1997, kept after 2010, re-adopted in 2024, that treated a broken society as an underfunded one. The funding arrived. The invoice is 45% of GDP. Britain bought the whole 2007 shopping list. It is still waiting for the goods. https://t.co/gFgY62etDN 4.5K views · 24 likes · 1 reposts · 0 replies 03 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

"Austerity" is the usual reply. Look at where the money went. Sure Start: 1,340 centres closed, budget cut by two thirds. The IFS says it was worth three GCSE grades to a poor child.

In December 2007 the Guardian said Britain was broken and wrote out their proposed fix: higher minimum wage, more benefits, more tax credits, a bigger state, redistribute. We checked every item against what happened next. Britain bought all of it. One number tells you what it h 10.2K views · 103 likes · 30 reposts · 2 replies 03 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

The new Prime Minister @andyburnham says Britain's housing mess is Thatcher's fault. We tested it. She sold the council houses. But the bill that actually hurts now was written by everyone who came after her. WHAT IF?
