Rishi Sunak will say today that we need to "reimagine our approach to numeracy".
Here's how he's reimagined it in the past.
UK Politics, Sunak
Talking of numeracy...
Sunak joined the treasury in July 2019
Our national credit rating has been downgraded 3 TIMES since
It's been downgraded 7 TIMES under the Tories - they inherited a AAA+ rating in 2010
Moody's credit ratings for the UK
AAA+ from 1978
AAA- in 2012
AA1+ in 2013
AA1- on 24 June 2016 - the day after the EU ref
AA2+ in 2017
AA2- in 2019
AA3+ in 2020
AA3- in 2022 (After Trussonomics)

In exchange, you are no longer affiliated with the largest common market for trade in the world. You have to accept some downside to be able to limit the size of your market and shrink your economy.

But, how else can you have parties while the country is in lockdown? Next thing you will be saying something silly, like mandating unpaid for tax breaks for the ultra-rich would damage your credit rating.
