James Bambury @jbambury.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Our infrastructure is crumbling from procrastinated maintenance and our public services range just about ok to obviously barely functioning, what exactly are you proposing to cut? What would be the consequential medium and longer term costs of those cuts? 100
boxman485.bsky.social @boxman485.bsky.social · 18/09/2026It's simply maths that says spending hasn't been cut enough to reduce debt - look at the debt growth! Too much public money is being spent servicing debt & that debt is moving to shorter term bonds The numbers currently don't stack up we need to either spend less or tax more 200
