Yes he sold off some of the gold but who sold off everything else, who sold of the nations assets to their chums at knock down prices, who never invested the money from selling of the housing in new affordable housing meaning it costs fortunes in housing benefit now, they are no more the party of fiscal responsibility than they are business or law and order.
And the kind of cuts the brains truss is demanding aren't pruning, they're decimating already overstretched services

I note, however, there was later a re-estimate that it eventually came to £4.7bn. So I guess we can split the difference! |
Unbelievable, 4.7 billion and not one word from you about test and trace or the vip lane for ppe, your not interested in anything that isn't political point scoring, it's pathetic and a complete waste of time
