Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

Consider that austerity is essentially about reducing government debt. Where you gain the revenue from is a choice. Increasing inequality is done by cutting public services and increasing costs for the less well off. Improving standards for all society is taxing the rich who more often than not will not feel the pinch like the poor people will. Most politicians being well off means they tend to protect their own while pretending they give a damn about the poor.
 
And being poor is not always a choice or because of bad decisions. Just like being rich isn't always a choice or based on good decisions. Deciding one group of people need to suffer because rich people have decided that's the way to pay off the debt mostly caused by their decisions is capitalism on steroids.

I'm not against free market and enterprise. But we now have a world where it's luck or nepotism. It is OK to not like that without being a socialist/communist.

Id probably just do 2 years rather than 5 - they should keep on dropping. I think mine is 2026 sometime so was expecting to do the same

Ours was up for remortgage a couple of months after Truss and we took a two year deal. Also hoping they’re down by the time we hit the second half of the year. Ours went up by £500 overnight, thanks largely to The Lettuce.
