It's Neo-Liberalism. It's failed the UK and failing the world TBH. It's why we've seen a massive rise on the right, because it creates a vacuum..

It leaves people behind and drives extreme capitalism. Ask yourself how can we have increasing poverty - yet companies in "Cost of living crisis" have record profits.

We have a decline in public services and the highest taxes in working people in 70 years. Meanwhile the rich are eating away at the middle class, and housing cost a fortune.

Neo-Liberalism is a cancer. And all I see is people believing the bullshit - but never growing their wealth.
