Wanna be in charge of the UK's trade with Poland? Our 13th largest trading partner and £30 billion of trade? Buffer against Russia? £33kpa or £2.2k a month after tax and student loan. This country is a joke. civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/index.cgi?…

The government will lend you £50k at payday lender interest rates to go to university.... but not to invest, start a business or buy a house. Which tells you everything you need to know about the Ponzi scheme

1/ Today’s announcement from Ofgem will be worrying news for families across the country. The expected rise in the price cap is yet another consequence of the toxic legacy left by the previous government.

Paramedic starting pay: £25,655, or £410 per week after tax. When I'm having a heart attack or my one-year old is choking, I'd like the hero who turns up to be able to afford 3 meals a day.

Average undergrad debt for new grads: £45,600 Current interest rate for plan 2 grads: 7.3% Annual interest in one year: £3,328.80 Which means you needs to earn £65kpa+ just to clear the interest, which compounds every year. The median grad salary is £35,170 per year.

I just want my country back. A country we can once again be proud to call home. Where children aren’t sacrificed to Pakistani rapists. Where our border actually means something. Where foreign rapists are deported, not handed council flats and legal aid. Where you can speak your
