The UK is up to its neck in debt, currently around 100% of GDP and rising….who exactly is paying for this?

Well my missus is the manager at Newhaven Fort, and she's very pleased with this!

Wasn't there a plan for a waterpark and rollercoaster theme park for Newhaven a few years ago?
maybe that will be back on the cards.

The Bank of England is printing money, which will lead to inflation.

From reading the detail, it would seem that most of it is coming from already allocated funds, so effectively no new money, just ensuring that the local Tory MP gets a boost when the next election comes around.
Personally not sure this strategy has been that well thought out, more housing in town centres next to increased entertainment venues. I can already see noise complaints increasing.

Had a little look at the 15 towns that are getting a windfall from the magic money tree. Interesting spread.
2 are in Labour strongholds
1 is in a Tory stronghold
1 is in Labour marginal
11 are in Tory marginals
Seems legit.

Really, how the hell did that happen, it’s almost a northern town on the south coast….
Yes. This is a good article about just how dodgy the selection process was. In effect, civil servants developed a methodology to access which towns needed the magic money tree the most, it was then pulled to pieces by the Tories to ensure their consistencies got the vast bulk of the funding.

One would guess that Newhaven resident PPF is representative of the majority of the people who live there?

Phew, I was worried I was being paranoid, turns out out it is just another example of endemic corruption.

It's worth pointing out that Caulfield is as thick as mince. I was lucky enough to attend a q & a she did at 6th form in her constituency where the 6th formers ran rings around her and at one point she rather embarassingly tried to explain them what a budget was as if they were primary school children who had never heard of a budget before.

Well it certainly put Ogdenville, North Haverbrook & Brockway on the map.

I think that should be: 'Thanks to the taxpayer'. The government is not a benevolent uncle.
Johnson is standing there like some great benefactor.
