  1. It’s time to make employers pay a wage that people can live on. In work benefits shouldn’t be a thing.

    Working should pay. Working people should be able to afford to live life

    Working people shouldn’t be in poverty

    Tory only care about keeping the rich, rich

  2. I think it’s probably more shocking if you just say the £ amount, than such a weird metaphor to visualise it.

  3. No surprise as to which party oversaw the massive fraud.

    While most people were worrying about the pandemic and whether they’d survive, the Tories were worrying about how to transfer as much taxpayer’s money as possible into their own pockets and those of their donors and chums.

    And later on, they were worrying about how to have parties without anyone else finding out.

  4. He sounds like SFB from FTX at this point.

    Was in control of lots of money and large sums have gone missing. The only difference is SFB has been arrested.

  5. And to think Jeremy Corbyn would have stolen that money to pay for healthcare and education. It’s a price worth paying to not be in a communist country.

  6. People flew here from other countrys when it all started, they opened up businesses and claimed all that cash for self employed people took the cash out and flew home. It’s in the 100s of millions.

  7. Pound coin is 2.35 cm, or 0.0235 m. Circumference of the earth is around 40,075,000 m.

    Four times circumference is 160,300,000 m.

    Number of pound coins: 6,821,276,595.7 coins.

  8. It absolutely blows my mind that when faced with a global pandemic with no vaccine and no idea how bad things could get, the Tory government’s first reaction was how to exploit the emergency to make money.

    When Boris Johnson was on TV begging us to isolate ourselves in our own homes, he and his government were getting sloshed and throwing billions of tax payers money at contracts they knew were bogus.

    The scale of corruption is just staggering.

  9. We know where all the COVID money went to. It went into the pockets of the Tory cliques and their mates who all made a killing from it. The Tory MPs, themselves, probably made lots of blood money from people dying. It’s what they do and always will. Yet the same Tory party won’t even pay a few extra quid to the nurses they used and abused.
