Behind the curve again. Being as you're one of the minority voters who put this lot in No 10. Especially with Labour's record on spending, thought you'd be up on all this by now

Just the FT regurgitating old news.

Btw. Haven't seen your

(or Labour's for that matter) figures defining where this £21.9 billion came from. Its just described as a black hole and you believe them.

It's another phrase like, "fully costed and fully funded" and that's ended up in the bin.

Here's your lying hero in action with another fully costed plan. And you believed it.

Great British Energy company.

This raised a laugh.

“bringing down the price of electricity,”

“It defies the laws of physics let alone economics, that more wind will reduce bills. A massive increase in renewable energy will see whole retirement communities turn into a deep-frozen necropolis. The only way poverty-stricken pensioners will keep warm is by huddling together in the local crematorium.

It’s taking Labour election strategy to a whole new level.”

Talking about new lows...

Manufacturing production MoM July DOWN 1.0%

GDP MoM July DOWN 0.2%

Monthly GDP 3 month change DOWN 0.1%

UK Industrial production MoM July DOWN 1.8%

UK trade balance July DOWN 2 billion.

UK trade balance non EU + 0.04 billion.

Construction output down MoM July DOWN 0.1%

Thank goodness for non EU trade, otherwise it would be a complete wipeout.

Whatever happened to Labour's priority, growth! 🤣🤣

You've been conned, from the fastest growth in the G7 to a complete wipeout. You voted for change.

To quote….

Labour going well lads.

Popcorn anyone. 🤣🤣

I remember when Brown increased the top tax rate when he knew he would loose.

The irony is some of the released prisoners will be housed in hotels.

You couldn't make it up.

“the first of the 1700 prisoners were released today”

Champagne 🍾 corks were popping today, party time outside Wandsworth.

Another policy first introduced by Blair.

Show us the 'black hole' figures mick-b, because the government can't.

Yeah, but how much support did you get during COVID mick-b?

Gunsup.

"Problem is when you do the maths , this not come anywhere near to filling the black hole"

At this moment in time this is only an alleged black hole.

"After the last labour government left the country in ruins,"

“Even Gordon Brown couldn't cause a Global financial crash”

He was in the chair, it could have been mitigated with government regulation. Call it what you want…Asleep on watch, failure to act, too comfortable since 1997 and thought they were invincible.

Regulation went out the window just as long as people kept buying houses.

Just like you blamed Boris for COVID but you all took the government support

What is irrefutable is that from today the labour party are responsible for scrapping it. And some of the clueless here are in agreement.

Surely, if they taxed it that would ensure that the really needy get all of it.

The old hillbilly saying coming to the fore.

Keep skunks, bankers, and politicians at a distance.

Gunsup.

You're correct, it was labour in 1997. I stand corrected. The coalition introduced the triple lock back in 2010.

However, with Reeves trying to justify the withdrawal of the WFP with maintaining the triple lock, it has some relevance to the debate.

“Remember pensioners have been dying of cold throughout the last 14 winters and the right wing press has always remained silent.”

mick-b what a fki plonker.

After the last labour government left the country in ruins, the first thing the coalition introduced was the winter fuel payment. Something your lot, the actual nasty party, ignored throughout the Blair years.

Tell me his best principles, I'm not holding my breath, twat.

You better just hope that global warming will keep the old folks alive.

53 labour MP’s abstained on the winter fuel payment, only one had the balls to vote against.

Spineless lot, these socialist.

The actual nasty party.

Whatever happened to freedom of movement. Borders going up everywhere, get a grip von der Leyen.

The EU founding principles are shot to pieces.

‘The Trades Union Congress have kicked off their conference, fuelled by the fact that Labour has already conceded to many their demands. Now they’ve passed a motion calling for the Government to scrap every single one of Margaret Thatcher’s anti-strike laws. The laws that curbed the power of flying pickets, put an end to closed shops, and made secret ballots mandatory before unions could down tools. And got Britain working again.

While Starmer’s already promised to ditch Tory laws ensuring vital services like rail and fire provide a minimum level of service during strikes, the comrades at the TUC want him to go further. Steve Wright, a union heavyweight from the Fire Brigades Union warned “That’s a start, but it’s not enough,” demanding the complete repeal of all “anti-union laws”. They’ve also threatened to hold a “special congress” if Labour fails to enact its New Deal for Working People “in full” within its first 100 days in office, which is in 33 days time. Meanwhile, Aslef general secretary has stated that Trade unions will “never be content”, despite securing bumper pay rises weeks ago.’ They’ve taken an inch so you know what's coming.

Chaos.

‘State school “capacity crisis”, a product of “thousands of children being forced out of independent schools.”

This comes after it was revealed some state schools are asking parents to prove they can no longer afford their private school fees to secure a place at a local state school. This is just the beginning.’

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO CHOICE?

In Bristol, the City Council is considering buying places from an independent school.” If this happened, it would mean a child attending private school at the taxpayers’ expense, despite having just been there at their parents’ expense.

LABOUR LOGIC!

Proactive Investors - Barratt Developments PLC (LON:BDEV) has joined forces with Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LON:LLOY) and Homes England to create the MADE Partnership, which will focus on developing large sites “to help deliver thousands of much needed new homes across the country”.

According to the press statement, MADE will act as master developer for multiple large scale, residential-led developments from 1,000 to more than 10,000 homes along with a variety of community facilities and employment uses.

Barratt, Lloyds and Home England are contributing equallyu to the project’s £150 million initial funding.

Anyone who voted this lot in must have a brain the size of a split pea.

The £22bn

(for STP 🤡 and his followers as they're having trouble finding answers to this).

The Treasury published an audit at the end of July, just a few weeks after Labour came to power.

They looked at areas of public spending which are set to go over budget this year, including:

Public sector pay rises….

Labour's clearly at fault here.

Overspending on certain projects, such as supporting the asylum system….

This is ongoing and getting worse under this present government.

Unforeseen costs, such as inflation being higher than expected….

Labour inherited the 2% inflation target set by the BoE.

Military assistance to Ukraine…

These are unexpected but as yet unknown and

ongoing costs, necessary to support this war in Europe.

“To put the figure into context, in the Spring Budget, it was expected that total public spending this year would be £1,226bn. The £22bn is a small proportion of that.”

You've been conned.

A point made by IFS director, Paul Johnson, the overall picture over the next four or five years is very, very similar to what we knew before the election.”

The Leader of the House of Commons, Lucy Powell, said “If we hadn’t taken that action we would have seen a run on the pound, we would have seen the economy crashing.”

Who believes this waffle? Does anyone believe there would be a run on the pound if they hadn't introduced the withdrawal of the winter fuel payment?

You've been conned.

Nina Skero, chief executive of the Centre for Economics and Business Research said "It is hard to find any evidence to support the claim that there is an imminent risk of a run on the pound."

She added that the size of any hole in the public finances is "highly speculative, subject to forecasts, and there are no alarm bells going off at the moment among investors looking at the UK".

You've been conned.

The labour backed OBR will report their findings on the day of Reeves budget 30 October. Expect more Doom and gloom from them to counter and justify the rise in tax take.

You've all been conned.
