The UK's borrowing costs have hit their highest level since the 2008 financial crisis as the energy price surge sparked by the US-Israel war with Iran has raised fears over the state of the public finances.

The benchmark rate for government's long-term borrowing costs has climbed above 5%.



As everyone guessed, Starmer et. al. are blaming the Tories for their incompetence. They've raised tax to an eye watering amount and are racking up a larger deficit. Incompetence at an exceptional level operating at an exceptional speed.
 

And as ALL business sectors struggle under hapless Labour, Youth unemployment is higher than it has been in a decade. The weekend jobless for 16 to 17 year olds have disappeared, no business can offered them.

Labour - screwing businesses, screwing growth at at epic speed and at an epic level. Liz Truss, all is forgiven.

Socialist welfare spending socialised healthcare and renewable energy are bankrupting the UK.

Obviously you didn't read the link. Healthcare is only mentioned that the debt interest would be best spent on schools and the NHS. As for energy, it's the price of oil/petrol/diesel that's the issue.

You've posted a link and mentioned something completely irrelevant to it? Bizarre.
