I'm interested in how 2 trillion is sustainable but 2.2 trillion and holding state assets - like broadband networks - isn't.



The starting point is for politicians to be honest that the low tax economy is essentially a deception funded from one off windfalls.
It's about time you started being honest. The £2 trillion debt was not caused by privatisation. You are trying to move the goalposts. Unsuccessfully, I would add.
