And doesn't care enough to do it correctly for the right reasons.

The other 22 were due to start next year and year after. They had been given the go ahead. And 8 still hadn’t been identified so had no start date.

Welcome news it’s over sadly no time to rest for him with GPs threatening strikes / disruptive action now. I imagine the nurses, who are still in dispute, will be looking at the 22% and thinking we know where the line is now - they have already muted 29.4% as their parity figure for 2024/25 for registered and 20.4% for HCA’s.
He certainly has a busy in tray.
Did she suggest that the IFS had rowed back from suggesting that Labour knew about the black hole? Paul Johnson certainly sounds more sympathetic today.
Paul Johnson, director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, said on Monday that it was “striking” that the £20 billion “black hole” is of the same scale as Hunt’s NI cuts.
Johnson told BBC Breakfast: “It is very striking that if this problem is about £20 billion big that is exactly the scale of the National Insurance cuts implemented by Jeremy Hunt just before the election.
“Now, if those cuts were implemented in the knowledge that there was this kind of hole that is not good policy to put it mildly.”
