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

[bluethrunthru]

Hunt trying to stick it to labour , still thrashing about , give it up **** face

Its basically " wasn't me guv" and he is still raging about public sector pay rises

Well slap me round the chops with a wet fish and colour me shocked!

All govs of whatever hue have lied to us about the economy since 1945. They won’t tell the truth for fear of losing votes. So every party in every election says they won’t raise taxes etc etc. Reeves says she is going to be honest with the electorate. The BBC economics correspondent says this is dangerous. The only truly honest chancellor was Stafford Cripps (lab) in 1951, who admitted that to fund everything in the manifesto would require a top tax rate of 91%. Unsurprisingly, Labour lost, despite having just launched the NHS. Never again did either party make that mistake.

Hunt is raging because people may now get treatment and waiting lists come down whereas he preferred people dying in agony

He must be seething that we have settled with the drs and given public service workers a proper pay rise , it will be killing him

He must be seething that we have given in to the drs and given the green light to all public sector workers to hold the taxpayer to ransom.

I think Hunts head was going to explode in parliament then, he’s been called out on it all, it cost the nhs £1.5 billion because of the strikes I think the rise in wage is £2 billion! Yet millions are worse off for it, Tory wankers.

Please remember when you are admitted to hospital to make your views on those treating you getting paid for the job so they know what to do

Just the tip of the iceberg, I imagine they're going to find all sorts of Tory skeletons in the next 12 months.

Shortfall should be paid for with the false PPE contracts during Covid for a start, which I believe they're currently investigating.

Rachel Reeves and Labour have every right to be pissed, the level of overspend is even worse than the worst case scenario:

I wonder if they get that money back from that husband and wife didn’t she end up in the House of Lords, think they did a runner to Venezuela or something.

Exactly. People like him were obviously happy for the country to suffer because the Tories refused to engage in negotiations and if they were still in power, strikes would never end. Wanker

He is because Labour quickly sorted an issue the Tories were incapable of

i am seriously impressed so far , even though they want to get people off the sick i dont feel like they are coming for me and you , unlike sunak who wanted to rip up pips specifically

They were not incapable at all it was something they were ideologically opposed to which they were able to use for their own political ends to cover their own failings

Not at all, just a comment to show that the particular statement was incorrect, but you go ahead and try to derail it the thread, just as the previous posters excuse.

You must love being gaslighted by the colour of a rosette. Me, not so much, I distrust all politicians.

Which bit was incorrect?

I know this will be unpopular but Starmer could have avoided this if he had stated that the NI reductions were to be reversed due to them being unaffordable during the election. They have cost the Treasury £10B a year and would have paid for the NHS payrise plus some more.
The current administration have already added to this infamous 'black hole' within a month of taking office.
It's all political smoke and mirrors and blame culture by all parties.
