UK borrowing rises more than expected in June to £20.7bn on.ft.com/4lGN9k4
They want a summer of chaos to stop the fall.

Kemi Badenoch spokesperson: No Shadow Cabinet reshuffle until 2029.
There is a huge amount of foreign money being poured into sowing division in Britain.
"It scares me what's happening to your country" "Have you been there?" "No, but-" Pretty much sums up the argument of every far right lunatic
