    We all know exactly where that massive hole came from, where the money went.

    Into the tories pockets. Into their cronies pockets.

    I like the economist drawing the conclusion that its the same size hole as the national insurance cuts, almost like the Tories willfully set everything on fire on their way out of the door.

    Massively dumb of Labour to commit to not raising general taxation when it was evident that the Tories likely hadn’t funded the national insurance cuts.

    When are we taxing the thieves who stole from us during the pandemic? Or even prosecuting?
