💨 Abstract

A Labour MP, Gordon McKee, used biscuits to illustrate the UK's economic issues on TikTok, gaining millions of views. He used custard creams to represent GDP and chocolate bourbons for debt, showing the increasing debt-to-GDP ratio over the years. McKee also compared the UK's debt situation to other G7 countries and proposed solutions like taxing property and growing the economy. Another Labour MP, Richard Burgon, used pasta to visualize wealth disparity.
