What a record blow past £1 trillion debt , then £2 trillion and now over 100% of GDP

[SirGalahad]

Tories will Tory.

They love debt more than a broke teenager. The party of prudence!

They have taken us past £1 trillion in gross debt and now £2 trillion.

Red Tories a bunch of dirty socialists.

I see the latest Brexit mantra is: "the EU is in financial difficulty, it's about to collapse".....

 

[fillyboy]

Given the debt figures in 2018, I'd say 100%+ of gdp aint bad, I'd have expected worse.

 

[Notch7]

I'd have expected worse.

It was worse, worse than other EU countries

"Britain discovered on Wednesday that its economy had suffered a recession deeper than any other reported by a European or North American country during the coronavirus pandemic.

The reasons for the severe downturn in the second quarter include an economy that relies more heavily than most on consumer spending and a longer national lockdown than its neighbors."


perfect storm coming: winter flu, 2nd wave, end of transition and economic damage from 1st wave.

Brexiteers will be praying for more people in boats landing on our shores ......so they can blame them.

Given the debt figures in 2018

2018 - Pre-pandemic and before the Great Tory Giveaway. Hilarious.

I wonder if filly knows about Covid19?

What a stupid thing to say. That's why I'm saying I would have expected a far greater increase than 20% given the economy has been shut down for six months, and may be for another six months if the Marxists get their way.

However, it's a long way from over yet.

 

[noseall]

What a stupid thing to say.

What a stupid chart to post.

This right wing, put profits first government locked down too late and it is their abject failure that has led to the huge economic cost......so you are blaming it on "Marxists"
Yeah, logic of the manipulated

you will be blaming it on brown people in boats next

 

[motorbiking]

If you aren't left wing you must hate brown people. what a silly thing to say.
