Thankyou padders. It's interesting that this hasn't made the News at all, yet today's News is full of the IMF  report criticising Labours plans.

Oh you missed the part where it also criticises the Tory plans. Of course you didn't - you just chose to ignore it. Bit of selective reporting there by you Anna to spin the narrative to what you want I see..

I think what Anna was implying Obelix,  Had those 163 economists been praising the Tory spending plans, it would have been mentioned.

It will be nowhere near the pain they will be feeling if they help elect an unfettered Johnson government.

The party they have supported all their lives for not giving them a credible alternative. And making glib comments doesn’t help people like these.

Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) says it's highly likely the Tories would end up spending more than their manifesto pledges.  

 

Labour would be unable to deliver its spending increases as it has promised. 

 

Apparently, neither party was being "Honest" with voters.

If 'Billion' was a species of tree, and Labour said they would plant two Billion trees, Diane Abbott would still struggle to explain the maths.

Have you noticed diane abbott anywhere recently? I wonder why she hasn't been on tv ?

Colour me surprised... Both of them are promising buying votes with money they just dont have or cannot raise.

Why do we pay our taxes if not for services like these?

Same reason as for Jacob Rees-Mogg's absence. They tend to say the wrong thing.

I can understand why Mogg has disappeared. The more you see of him the less there is and what remains is an odious empathy free shell of a human being.
