On the public transport front where I am, cuts to public transport, especially buses are horrific. far worse than during the Cameron years!

Businesses such as pubs that rely on disposable income are noticeably quiet as about the only people who have any disposable income right now are pensioners.

The economy is tanking alarmingly, and you would think that Tories would have a lot to say about this. Especially as monetarism (the economic dogma of the Thatcher years) was heavily focused on controlling inflation. And inflation is the major problem hitting the UK economy right now. But no, all they are bothered about is unisex toilets and using the word "woke" pejoratively in every other sentence.
