What is no one talking about the shady VIP lane contracts? Who got the Rwanda contracts? What about the NHS contracts, buying products that are useful to the NHS, was due diligence done before misusing the tax payers money?

Funny how this comes out after the voting

Reeves can simply fix the budget by calling on the French to service their sovereign debt to Treasury. Or sell the debt instead, because hundreds and hundreds of billions of pounds will sort the budget out now and for a long time to come.

By far and away the biggest drain on the Welfare Budget is Public Sector Pensions! The Taxpayer has been picking up this colossal bill for over 30 years. It is completely unsustainable and has the potential to single-handily bankrupt the country! Which is precisely what happened in Greece!!

Paul Johnson of the IFS said that Jeremy Hunt's NI cuts left a £20 billion shortfall in the treasury coffers. Why is Hunt not commenting on that. The Tory government went on and on about putting £900 extra in people's pockets, but nothing was said about the downside of the policy. Now we know why

Stephen Flynn, Owen Jones and Ash Sakar were talking about the £20b black hole months before the election. Can you give me the link where Times Radio went into the detail at the time please 👍

I'm a pensioner & I don't need the winter fuel allowance. Providing the cost of means-testing is less than the savings, I totally support it.
