So let me get this right. The OBR only have access to the info provided by the Tories, just as the opposition do, and the Tories withheld info from the OBR meaning them and Labour in opposition could not view that information, but now Labour are in power they can view the information in full and have now disclosed it in full, therefore demonstrating hunt lied. That should be a prison worthy offence but because he’s a politician he gets off with a slap on the wrist Also, him moaning about above inflation pay rises is amusing. If it wasn’t for austerity and then crippling the public sector we’d not need huge rises. However that is not the case and public sector needs those rises to stop talent bleeding into the private sector Also, the pay rise for junior docs is over 2 years, but of course he leaves that bit out. What a disgraceful liar Edit: I fully agree with the guy who mentioned gross negligence in politics. Absolutely agree. Doctors and nurses are held to higher standards than the people literally running the country and it’s a disgrace to put it nicely.

Maybe... but consider that that would make it disproportionately harder for poorer people to become MPs, meaning the wealthier self-interested ones would be more likely to do the job (it's not like Rishi Sunak or Boris Johnson needed the money). Personally I think the solution is to provide a median wage and focus on better tracking of expenses.

[@petekadenz9465]

Her claimed to be cutting taxes while actually increasing them to the highest level since 1945. The Tories did announce policies before the election without allocating any money to pay for them. Their tax & spending plans assumed massive cuts in public spending after the election, but they explained where those cuts would be made. As the head of the Office of Public Responsibility said in evidence to the Select Committee earlier this year, the Conservative Government’s tax & spending plans were ‘worse than fiction’.
