[Finance] Rachel Reeves to reveal £20bn shortfall left by Conservative Government

[Chicken Run]

I just like going in feet first on people pretending to be someone they're not

I don’t think anyone would disagree, that’s your persona and bravo, i’d just feel perhaps your not entering into the spirit of forum moderation by being in the thick of all these arguments, what was it yesterday, oh that’s right “she’s as thick as whale spunk”

So the BOE have cut interest rates to 5% and The cost of living is subsiding.

So who is going to be brave enough to say that Hunt and Sunak were on the verge of turning around the economy?

Bank of England cuts rates to 5% in first drop since March 2020

The BoE's rate setting committee voted by a majority of five to four to reduce the rate for the first time since the start of the pandemic.

The Bank of England bought inflation down by raising interest rates, now that inflation is back within the BofE 2% target they are now able to start bringing them back down. What role do you think Sunak and Hunt had in this?

One minute NSC is all extreme left, next minute Labour aren’t even of the left. Confusing times.

Maybe stick to cricket.

I'm glad you are confused too.

Starmer is a lefty. You must know, I have also been around lawyers, and you just know.

Starmer is about as left wing as John Major.

I'm glad you are confused too.

I’m definitely confused there are posters who think NSC is ‘extreme left’, just for being on board with this version of Labour.

Reeves is expected to make it explicit that she believes her predecessor deliberately did not act to address the looming spending shortfall. “Jeremy Hunt is going to have a lot of explaining to do,” said one source.

Rachel Reeves expected to reveal £20bn shortfall in public finances

Chancellor may raise some taxes in the autumn due to what Labour describes as its ‘shocking inheritance’ from Tories

Just going back to the OP and the figure of 20 billion.

Forget (if that's possible for one moment) the crooked contracts given to dodgy companies re PPE etc.

Furlough cost 70 Billion.

That doesn't include the (never to be repaid) loans etc.

Let's hope we don't have another pandemic........

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Furlough cost 70 Billion.

He'd better be able to play left back at that price

Sorry I will need to point you to Google, to much typing for me to keep short.

So do you believe in Reeves and Starmer?
They sound like a comedy duo, don't they?
But it's not even funny, " you couldn't let them lie”

could your wife help you with comprehension when you use social media?
