Previous UK government ‘covered up’ financial turmoil ahead of election

If you believe they didn't know the economic situation you are living in cloud Cuckoo land, the people who voted for these tossers are in for more shocks over the next few months, if you are over 55 get your tax free 25% lump sum from your pension now before they stop it

The end of the 25% tax free lump sum was Tory scaremongering and some mugs still believe it. The best bet for people aged 55 and above is to get proper financial advice rather than listen to nonsense on forums.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. They are coming after your savings (which you have already paid tax on) and pension funds. Not the copper bottomed gold plated public service pension funds. Oh no, that would never do. Just the hard working people who have contributed to their pension fund for the best part of 50 years. That’s fair game. Labour: the politics of envy, spite and hatred.
 
I don't know about you, but I think that to do a proper audit of UK finances would take longer than three weeks, after all they will be far more complex than a larg companies, and their audits can take months.

Plenty of economists were pointing this out in public before the elections. As someone already stated, thre Tories lied about it, but Labour lied by omission. It's still lies !
The Labour front bench will have been briefed by the Civil Service well in advance of taking power. It's part of the election process that the Opposition have full access to civil servants before an election.
 

The oddest thing about all of this is there hasn't been any money for years. The financial black hole is not £20bn, it's £2.6 TRILLION. The £20bn figure comes from an arbitrary line drawn in the sand where commitments were baselined against that line.

They could however still spend an extra £50bn and call it a £70bn black hole but the existence of that hole doesn't actually matter. Successive governments have clearly done this since time began, including the last Labour government. If they hadn't then we wouldn't be running such high levels of borrowing and debt.

Labour said that they'd put honesty, integrity and service back into politics but on week 4 they've chosen to blame the last government for why they're now about to fail in government. They're acting no differently to how the Tories did when they got into power 14 years ago.

If they're going to be a government of investment and change alongside one with fiscal rules then they need to make hard decisions around where money is being spent. Simply throwing their arms up and saying there is no money so cheers cya in 5 years is not good enough.

You just made that up, stop being hysterical , lol
 
Me. The Tories totally fucked up the economy leaving Labour to clear up the mess. Finances are not the only other thing the Tories totally fucked up leaving Labout to sort it
Heard it before when the Tories got in. The country was fucked because of Labour funding all the benefit bums leaving the Tories to clean up the mess.
Same shit different party.
