Please consider signing this petition calling on the BBC to balance their coverage of opposition parties. Currently, 60% of BBC coverage of opposition parties goes to Reform, which has 4 of the 250 opposition MPs. : www.libdems.org.uk/bbc?emci=e0b...

Thatโs $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
Or rather there a deep structural failings within the UK that means it fails to capitalise on the potential of its population. This about about failures to deliver a good level of basic education and investment in tertiary education and training. Not everything is Brexit.
