#Starmer can pay for it using the £2bn that Yvette Cooper is going to claw back from the #Covid fraud debacle. Either that, or use the #MagicMoneyTree that we were told doesn't exist but enabled the #Tories to fritter away billions on unwanted and useless #PPE equipment.
'#HMRC withheld offshore #TaxAvoidance figures for #UK’s wealthy during election

[Here's a #MagicMoneyTree just waiting to be harvested...]
Britain is awash with failed prime ministers. The cost of their security detail rises as a function of how hated they are (a lot) and how much they travel overseas (a lot).
There's no #MagicMoneyTree for this stuff... We need to impose the #FiscalRules

At the demise of #empire, City of London financial interests created a web of secrecy jurisdictions that captured wealth from across the globe and hid it in a web…

Sunak took private jet trips costing almost £500,000 in just over a week
and
The government lost 75% of the £12bn it spent on PPE in the first year of the pandemic to inflated prices and kit that did not meet requirements
But sure, there is not enough money to pay doctors and nurses so they can pay their everyday bills.

NHS bosses offering £40 an hour to nurses to cross picket lines is like Royal Mail offering hundreds of pounds to managers to deliver mail.

It is only ever about breaking unions and collective bargaining.

More #snouts in the #tory #trough fed by the #MagicMoneyTree. Or the #UK #taxpayer as it’s better known. Where are the #taxpayersalliance on this one?
Also, #bailouts themselves allow and cause huge #wealthDisparaities that fuel extreme waste and yet they, the #Keynesians quietly demand that 3% #magicNumber of #growth in #consumption each year.
The #MagicMoneyTree'ers are the reason we are in this mess. They created a wasteful #VietnamWar and told the world in 1971, "you'll take our pretty paper promises". Look at any #socialProgress graph since the 70s. Its basically all bad news.
