Thus the economy has to grow so that taxation receipts by the government can rise. That's not happening. So it's unsustainable.
It matters not that Ratcliffe said that, nor that he is rich. He can be a bad person and still be right.

64% or close to 6 million are claiming one or
fewer benefits, possibly some took their pensions at 55, some are full time unpaid carers, some are students, some are ill possibly with long covid, in other words they're not claiming benefits, that's why I'm posting like I do
