Many people have been affected by the cost of living crisis.
Bank accounts depleted by a pointless exercise in trying to avoid spreading a virus.
Interest rates soared, and people with £200,000, £300,000 plus mortgages found their monthly repayments nearly doubling.
Energy rates skyrocketed because we don’t produce our own energy and the place we did buy from got into a war - on the wrong side.
Four years on, I’m getting used to living in debt, despite working 5 days a week, long hours and in a job I have very little energy for these days.
My OCD and anxiety peaked and I can’t get a GP appointment, so no choice but to just live in that state.
When I come to vote, I’m not ashamed to say that I will not be thinking about the climate. I’ll be thinking about my bank balance, my life, the life of my kids, who because I earn too much, go without because we see no subsidies or top-ups. They are in uni, with no financial help really from myself, or very little, going into huge debt before they are even 21.
I will vote for whoever prioritises the economy. Working people. Lower taxes. Oh and immigration.
I expect that’s what Americans were thinking too.
