Starmer cancels £40m Chopper contract.

Another frittering of our money by the Tories.

Badly reported.

They have chosen not to renew the contract.

Very different from cancelling a contract

Murdochat, do you have a short memory?

Do you not remember the Conservatives and their client media s framing constantly about “Labour will raise taxes”

Labour couldn’t be honest about raising taxes because the Tories would’ve used it as an attack line

So you agree that Labour lied about raising taxes

And yes I do stand by the fact the IFS stated the real position about the finances because I trust them, well ahead of all politicians

Spoken by a tax and NI dodging hypocrite

What's a few dead pensioners, they won't vote Conservative next time.

Is this a riddle?

For you it would seem so.

I give up, what's the answer to your riddle?

Fair enough. But the end result is the same. Dosh saved.

Yes, they say that the position is worse than anyone thought.

 

[denso13]

and you still voted for them ?

Says the convicted felon and rapist supporter. You like liars...

That’s not even a drop in the ocean

The ocean is made up of lots of drops.

Can you imagine a scenario where this would ever be of any use?

It was obviously a joke, plonkatroll..

Budget will be painful, Keir Starmer warns in Downing Street speech

The prime minister says he's inherited an "economic black hole" but the Tories say he campaigned on "promises he couldn't deliver".

You and I are paying the price for Tory chums getting rich.

Wait and see. They stated which ones they wont raise and from other comments it wont be corporation tax as well as those. They did state clearly that some taxes would be increased.

One area was mentioned briefly. A certain type of investor that gets taxation concessions but the results for the country are not beneficial in terms of real growth so why not tax them the same as the rest.

On the other hand the Tory changed things so that investment in a company is beneficial. Change that - i very much doubt it. Any other ideas to increase growth in the same way would be added. Labour has an interest in small to medium sized companies as that is what are domestic ones are. The big boys have an easier job raising funds for investments.

General politics who ever is in. They need to consider a globalised world and they fact that investors are needed. The question then is where does this investment money finish up. The Tory approach to getting it here has not worked so labour want to try another way.

And yes I do stand by the fact the IFS stated the real position about the finances because I trust them, well ahead of all politicians

Well at least get their statement correct - both parties aware of the problem. Also recollect that prior to the election the IFS had a view concerning who ever got in - withdrawn as soon as the financial details came out.

I'd also point out that the IFS is likely to be more noisy due to trying to compete with the OBR root to finances.

I din't think they did.
What are you saying they lied about, specifically?

Clearly not. The rest is factual, troll. Reported
