[Politics] The General Election Thread

Yep senior nursing sister at Leeds hospital advising it was a set up by the mother. No wonder the mother was asking for nothing else to come of it. As usual another Labour lie

Any links to this revelation?

Googled : NHS floor child "staged" . Not a sausage.

I probably think the fact a) the hospital apologised and b) Matt Hancock has been scrambled to calm things down would suggest it isn't staged too.

The child has a rebreathe 02 mask would need to be a bed or trolley available as this 02 tubing for this would need attaching to the regulator on the wall behind said bed or trolley ..any child needing 02 would have been monitored I feel this is staged

A good friend of mine. Why did the hospital apologise for there not being enough beds then?

It doesn't look like Boris Johnson NHS woes will get any easier tomorrow.

It hold no odds. It will not impact the result.

The desperation from the left, is just desperation.

The hospital trust have issued a formal apology for the lack of beds, saying there were only chairs available. It's possible the child couldn't lay down on the chair & wanted to lay on the floor
.
Edit to add, the Facebook account accusing the mother of staging it, has now been deleted.

What desperation is that? Pointing out a right wing claim is utter bs?

No I am not a healthcare professional.

That is what a healthcare professional has said about it.

They think it is bullshit actions completed by a Labour activist.

I genuinely and honestly hope you never feel desperate. Many people do.

Did the healthcare professional mention the Hospitals apology?

How can it possibly get worse? You honestly believe the Daily Express/ Sun/ Daily Mail drivel that by investing in our economy that it’ll take us back to the 70s. You realise that Labour investment plans aren’t even that radical? (See chart below) and that a lot of Corbyn’s policies are common place throughout the western world?

Really?

It’s easy to get inured to big numbers as the parties make claims and counter-claims about billions and trillions of pounds actually or supposedly being promised in tax and spending increases. So let’s get one thing clear about Labour’s pledges. They are very, very big indeed.

Labour is looking to increase public spending by more than £130 billion a year. That’s on a base of about £810 billion. This would increase public spending by about six percentage points of national income. It would take the share spent by government to levels not sustained in peacetime.

These numbers ignore the costs of nationalising water, energy, rail, mail and BT Openreach. They also ignore the long-term consequences of a particularly imprudent pledge: that state pension ages will not rise beyond 66. That would mean spending on state pensions rising by more than £60 billion a year by the 2050s relative to today.

Of that £130 billion of extra spending, £55 billion is earmarked for capital investment. That would double investment spending. There is a strong case for more investment spending, but increases on this scale probably couldn’t be achieved in an effective and efficient manner over a parliament. Labour would be content to borrow the additional £55 billion a year required to fund its spending, and would hence be comfortable with public sector debt rising over time. But it has said it wants to raise taxes by £80 billion a year.

That too is a vast increase, and it would take our tax burden to its highest level in history. About half of that £80 billion increase would supposedly come from increases in corporation tax. That would take our corporation tax revenue from about the OECD average to among the very highest, and right to the top of the G7 league table.

The claim that the scale of public spending that Labour desires can be financed entirely by taxing companies and “the rich” does not stand up to scrutiny.

The Yorkshire Evening Post carries the apology from the Hospital trust too, but worthing123's mate knows better.
