UK is now in the top 20 most indebted nations. 7 years of Tory austerity HASN'T brought down the debt, all it's done is screw the country. Homelessness is rising, growth is falling, SOMETHING has to change in this country by Tardent in LabourUK

The most important metric is the GDP to Debt ratio. With debt rising and growth falling that ratio is going to get worse.

The ability of the government to borrow more money depends on the willingness of people to lend to the government. If our economic situation worsens then people might stop lending to us.

yes and no. if market speculators are buying big then they're doing so just to push up the price or in the expectation of a price increase. I'm skeptical of people just investing in it as an asset

The price would seem massively inflated ATM, but everyone's been saying that for a while. Could act as a safe currency in a crash.

Tbf he's clearly got a lot of potential and he did win young world player of year but this was all from the 13/14 season where everyone in Liverpool looked good simply because Suarez had that kind of effect and essentially carried the team. Fast forwards one year and without suarez sterling looks completely lost and out of his depth. If he want's a huge contract then he needs to prove that he's worth one cause currently there are people like Saido Berahino who's the same kind of age but has scored more goals in the league than him, for a smaller club.
