It’s everything.Postage,trains,energy costs,how much we pay for food,clothes etc. 6th largest economy with over 4.5m kids in poverty. It shouldn’t be like this. A small number of very rich people are doing very well at the expense of the masses.Painting roundabouts & raising flags makes them happy 😢
You only really see how fundamentally broken Britain is when you take the time to look.
Example: international postage. We pay much MUCH more to send letters to the rest of the world than they do to send them to us.
UK to anywhere else: £3.40
Other countries to UK: 68p to £2.15

Having a great first day as the OBR's website manager. Got all of the content queued up as a scheduled post, ready for a big day, but all of the work is done now.
Now before I put my feet up, time to take a big gulp of water and check the latest news.
