Quote of the day 3rd June 2023

"Labour's unfunded spending pledges add up to more than £20bn a year, @theipaper analysis suggests - equivalent of a 3p rise in income tax.

One of the Labour supporters who I follow (I do pay attention to the views of people who don't necessarily agree with me) commented
"Can't believe that after 13 years of Opposition Labour think the biggest priority is blowing £28 billion on 'green plans' where we've no idea what the return on capital spend will be. "
