Election blow for Sunak as IFS says Tories oversaw ‘worst income growth for generations’

1. That is hardly a shock to anyone, especially public sector workers…

2. Shock horror. They’ve been punching down on wages for fourteen years now.

3. That rain soaked launch feels way more than a week ago.

   The past 14 years have felt like the country is now on a course of little more than managed decline with some occasional looting. There is a generation of people who have never known what it’s like to live in a country with a growing economy.

4. It’s pretty much what we have all known for years…just amazing 1 in 4 still think it’s a good decision to vote for them to “put it right” with another 5 years!

5. To be fair, locking down the country for two years didn’t help

6. Brexit at any cost turned out to be too expensive? If only someone had mentioned it earlier. /s

7. There’s been virtually no GDP per capita growth since the financial crisis. No wonder everyone feels broke.

8. Now hang on a minute, Rishi’s income has been doing rather well. Michelle Mone isn’t complaining either, so it’s not all bad.

9. Literally anyone that’s lived through this Tory government could tell you that.
