UK Is Broke The £22 Billion Black Hole? Think Again.

We’re told there’s a £22 billion shortfall in the UK’s finances.

The truth?

The real figure is close to over £3 trillion—a staggering amount that would bankrupt any ordinary household or business. If we ran our finances like the government does, we’d be declared insolvent. But how does the government get away with it? Simple: they print money out of thin air, backed by nothing.

The Problem with Printing Money Unlike individuals or businesses, governments can create money to paper over the cracks in their budgets. But this isn’t a solution—it’s a dangerous game. Every pound printed without real value behind it drives inflation, devalues your savings, and pushes the economy closer to collapse.

The Inevitable Collapse History has shown that economies built on unsustainable debt and money printing always face the same fate: financial collapse. The cracks are already showing—rising inflation, soaring interest rates, and shrinking public services. So, what can we do?

Our governments over the decades have just kicked the can down the road, but this needs to stop. There is only one party that recognizes this, and that is The Reform Party.
