Where has all the money gone?

That’s the question from Carol Vorderman, and she’s echoing economist Gary Stevenson who has been saying much the same thing for many months now.

Here’s her analysis, as posted on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter):

As she demonstrates, David Cameron came into office claiming (wrongly) that the national debt of £770 billion and deficits run by Gordon Brown’s previous ‘New Labour’ administration were unsustainable and had to be brought down, for the good of us all.

“We’re all in it together,” remember?

Instead, he and his successors – Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and now Rishi Sunak – have spent public money at a record-breaking rate, increasing the debt to more than three times as much as in 2010.

Bear in mind that it had taken hundreds of years for the debt to reach £770 billion. The Tories then tripled it in just 13 years.

They have been spendthrifts on a scale never before seen in the UK.

And they have nothing to show for it.

The standard of living for the vast majority of people has plummeted.

Public services have been starved of resources and neglected.

The National Health Service has been starved of staff and hived off to private companies whose work is substandard and poor value for money.

The economy has stagnated and wages – apart from those paid to MPs and top executives – are now worth a fraction of what they were in 2010.

If the last nearly-14 years of Tory rule had been a business transaction – we had paid for them to provide a service – then we would be within our consumer right to demand our money back.

But it doesn’t work like that.

Government, it seems, is the greatest con trick of them all because we lose our money legally.

This is an election year, though. We have an opportunity to make a big change.

But the media are telling us the only choices are the Conservatives, who will break the national bank even more than they have done already, or Keir Starmer’s New New Labour, that is promising to do the same.

For all our sakes, we – the voters – have to change our thinking and make the change that the self-interested, snouts-in-the-trough political swine in both those parties can’t handle.

We have to get rid of them all and vote for somebody else.

Elections used to be about looking at what every candidate in your constituency was offering and voting for the one whose package most closely corresponded to what you thought you needed.

When did they start being about voting tribally for the team that told you they represented you when – if you actually bothered to check – they really didn’t?

When did we stop voting in our own interest and start voting in theirs?

If you vote for Rishi Sunak’s team this year; if you vote for Keir Starmer’s team this year; even if you vote for Ed Davey’s team this year, you will be voting to enrich the members of their parties and will achieve nothing for yourself or your family.

Carry on voting tribally for the same gangs and you will ensure that you, your children, and their children, are progressively impoverished and enslaved by the people who are recommending themselves to you now, for their own enrichment and self-aggrandizement.

That is their plan. And it has been working spectacularly well for the last 13 and a half years.

When are you going to break that pattern, stop harming yourself and do what needs to be done?

It’s time to change. Do it before it’s too late.
