Should we trust Sunak or the next PM to fix the Country's problems? (title revised 24/10/22)

What Hunt is really doing for the NHS - or more accurately the private sector he is so enmeshed in profiting and profiting from

The already-strained health service could suffer a 1.2% cut in day-to-day spending in England – the largest reduction since the 1970s – according to analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), despite ministers’ promises not to squeeze healthcare.

The IFS said the health budget would be 2.4% lower in 2024–25 without further funding of around £2.1 billion.

The already-strained health service could suffer a 1.2% cut in day-to-day spending in England, according to analysis.

 

Critics urged the Chancellor to cancel the “scandalous” spending cuts amid calls for public service funding to be prioritised over tax reductions in his financial statement on Wednesday.

Don't be silly says minister -

- Lets have some lying and corruption lessons which will be far more useful

I see that Johnson the corrupt liar has been availing himself of Blyths (what a suitable name) luxury 'hospitality' in the Dominican Republic again ...

and when it ended,  Johnson allegedly starts kicking off like a prima donna when his flight is slightly delayed

... then suddenly the police raid the plane and drag off (allegedly) a drug smuggler

 

.. well sadly, it wasn't Johnson or Blyth BUT

either Johnsons and his host Blyths security is as crapily incompetent as Johnson the incompetent liars management skills - to fail to spot a drug smuggler on the plane after the extra security checks .. that the police knew about

 

.. or (surely not) someone was trying to use Johnson the corrupt liar ex PMs presence on the flight as cover to smuggle drugs

No, can't be - ex PMs travel details are blocked so only Johnson and his magnanimous pal would know what flight he was on .. eh?

More on Michelle Donelan's apology and payment.

NEW: it seems that *taxpayers* covered the cost of Michelle Donelan's false accusations. Her department says a "nominal" sum was paid, "subject to all the usual cross-govet processes, & aims to reduce overall costs to the taxpayer that could result from protracted legal action."

This seems wrong to me. As someone else tweeted, is it in her job description to libel academics?

So Hunt is on about giving a few pence back (mostly to the better off) of the many many pounds NI and income and council and water taxes hes already taken and taking .. and spent on their VIPals eh

and saying he might say something about non-dom status, and the doctors might get something next year (if the Torys dont win)

LOL

Rearranging the deckchairs?  I'll be amazed if public opinion changes much with the next polls.

[tobyjugg2]

Cant wait to see if Hunt says something about nondom tax free living ... when they've resisted ending it and roundly supported its 'benefits' for so long LOL

Whatever he does its extremely unlikely there WON'T be loads of loopholes for nondoms to exploit - its just headlines

- and as you say HB - think the public has seen these corrupt chronyistic liars for who they are no matter how much they try to rearrange deckchairs as a screen.

‘Hypervaccinated’ man reportedly received 217 Covid jabs without side-effects | Vaccines and immunisation | The Guardian

The 62-year-old, from Germany said he had the large number of vaccines for ‘private reasons’, researchers said

 

 

The research team said it had seen official confirmation for 134 of the vaccinations, which included eight different vaccines.

“The observation that no noticeable side-effects were triggered in spite of this extraordinary hypervaccination indicates that the drugs have a good degree of tolerability,” Schober said.

Certain immune cells and antibodies against the virus which causes Covid-19 (Sars-CoV-2) were present in considerably higher levels compared with people who had received just three vaccines, the team reported.

“Overall, we did not find any indication for a weaker immune response, rather the contrary,” said one of the leading study authors Katharina Kocher.

I see Dan Wootton has left GB News now, after losing his Mail column a few months ago. The Sun are still investigating his behaviour when he was with them.

He's starting an independent channel online without regulation by what he calls the Ofcommunists. Odd because a lot of people think they've been rather lenient with GBeebies.

Budget summary

The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) issued its warning over today’s statement as it also revealed that the average worker on a £35,000 salary will still be £383 worse off over this year and the next due to stealth tax rises. (eg ongoing frozen tax limits)

Lowest income bracket calculated (those around 15k a year) roughly the same amount worse off - but of course its actually around 3x more impact

 

These figures DON'T seem to take account of council tax and water tax increases - especially that some being lobbied for are much larger than 'normal'

It's no wonder Labour haven't talked about all of their policies because it's highly likely the Tories will just steal them and then claim the credit.If your party's main policy seems to be culture wars and division, I suppose you don't have a lot of time for the practical stuff.

Personally I thought Hunt should have been told off for calling the deputy leader of the Labour party Angela, against parliamentary etiquette.

As for second home owners, Rayner underpaid by around £1500 according to one estimate. Someone else was referred to the parliamentary standards committee.

Interesting that you are happy that the extremist right wing have further ruined our Countries economy and rather than support our countries services and people - have just thrown away around another £48B of taxpayer money.

No surprises there either.

 

- BUT -  just makes it easier for labor to look better on every front though eh?

and don't forget - most of the claims by hunt are just waffle.

So, the right wing tories are paying the costs of her outbursts as:

"“There is an established precedent under multiple administrations that ministers are provided with legal support and representation where matters relate to their conduct and responsibilities as a minister, as was the case here."

so surely - she has brought the office into disrepute as it was not an outburst as a private person,

but as  "conduct and responsibilities as a minister, as was the case here"

Is Policy Exchange going to contribute for providing her with faulty information?

[tobyjugg2]

the guv say it was paid as she was acting as a minister - so she should be challenged for bringing the office into disrepute - I know they always try to have it both ways .. but it should be challenged.

Then they'll probably make her pay - and she'll perhaps try to charge it to Ministerial expenses  ...
