Ever wondered where your tax money actually goes? 💷
@BBCNews broke it down by imagining we each handed the Government £100.
Here’s how that £100 was spent in 2023–24:
£22 → NHS
£6 → Defence
£10 → Education
£10 → Debt interest
£11.40 → State pensions
£4.15 → Working-age welfare (PIP, Universal Credit, health support)
£0.50 → Asylum system
£0.70 → Overseas aid
What strikes me most is this: immigration dominates headlines and public debate, consistently ranking as one of the nation’s top concerns — yet the asylum system accounts for just 0.5% of public spending.
A reminder that sometimes the loudest issues aren’t the largest ones.
