Original Note:
The ratio of debt to GDP was 60% when labour left office. It is now 100%. A country with a sovereign currency cannot go bankrupt, and to describe the situation when debt was proportionally lower than it is now as such, is disengenuous. https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/04/18/modern-monetary-theory-an-explanation/
