Sunak's #SpringStatement2022 is far too little to solve the problems this government has created for most UK families.

It doesn't tackle the latest price rises...

And it doesn't reverse 12 years of mass impoverishment.

It is as if he is determined to prove that he will not be solving any of our problems.

As this thread brings to life only too clearly.

1.Because, as expected, Sunak's Budget fails to tackle the cost of living crisis.

Sunak says that “government can’t be expected to solve every problem.”

Here is a list of problems this government cannot be expected to solve.

If we want them solved, we need a different government.

We cannot expect this government to solve the cost-of-living crisis.

“Where other governments have supported consumers and small business and imposed windfall taxes and price caps on energy companies, ours has declined to act.”

We cannot expect this government to fund the NHS properly.

“We shouldn’t always go first to the state – what kind of society would that be? Health and Social Care: it begins at home. It should be family first, then the community then the state.”

How many ways does the government have to show us that it really does not care about the well-being of the UK population before we stop believing that they are “doing all we possibly can”?

It is not enough that they pour sewage into our rivers rather than dent water company profits. We don’t quite absorb it.

It is not enough that they make the vast majority of the population poorer, year after year after year. We don’t quite absorb it.

The Government still claims that:

"Protecting the NHS is of the utmost importance to the Government. We are committed to ensuring the NHS continues to provide excellent care that is free at the point of need for generations to come."

The truth, of course, is very different.

As an increasing number of those who would rightly expect to be NHS patients are finding out to their cost.

A cost of between £8,000 and £15,000.

Impoverishing the mass of its citizens for the benefit of a few hugely wealthy donors.

We are used to an NHS free at the point of use. But our Health Secretary thinks we should pay for our own families.

And the Health & Care Bill will let him get his way. That would be a disaster for all but the richest.

Luckily, it is not too late to act.

If we had an insurance system like the US, it would be ruinous for many people – in both health and wealth terms.

The government has a Health & Care Bill which would let Javid have his way with the NHS.
