I can't remember any other moment with too many people warning about Apocalyptic scenarios.
Obviously, things seem to get worse before this could get any better.
But what I can remember is 2008 with many saying the crisis would be fixed soon. And yet, said Cassandra, here we are.

Have you seen this? Reform UK has just pledged to rip up legal protections for workers and renters. I'm really worried about it. I've signed a petition to stop the steal. Can you add your name too? megaphone.org.uk/petitions/s… via @megaphoneuk

You are seeing in real time why Trump companies went bankrupt so many times. Set aside your politics. This guy is incapable of making a deal or meaningful decision and it follows the same cycle. Big flashy announcement (Epic Fury). Adversity hits (Hormuz closed). Defraud stakeholders (promise two week solution). Freeze up (endless two week cycle loop). Compound the problem (resource depletion). Final chance to save face rejected (what you’re seeing now). Bankruptcy strikes and blame others during chaos. Rinse repeat.

We are spending too much on Welfare.
BlackRock wants to work with the Greater Manchester Pension Fund (@GMPF_LGPS) to buy up NHS GP surgeries.
Our NHS is not for sale - Cllr Eleanor Wills, leader of @TamesideCouncil (which runs GMPF) must drop this deal NOW.
