The OBR is run independently from Government. It literally was somebody else's fault.
You'd think Kemi Badenoch would know that given her own party created it in Government, but apparently not

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

🛣️🚗 Labour is DOUBLING the amount of cash for roads including £700 million for the East Midlands.🚗 🛣️
Providing long-term investment and increasing the amount available to councils that publish their pothole data will save money on costly patchwork repairs and ensure councils are held accountable.

It feels like what you'd get if all the shittest factions from NUS conferences 1985-2015 all formed a political party. And that's because it actually is a party formed by all the shittiest factions from NUS conference.

We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

In this video LOTO Keir Starmer calls for a circuit breaker lockdown. He was ridiculed heavily both by the PM and the Tory press.
Turns out he was right all along. How many dead people would be here if we had him as our leader? youtu.be/rsEkDaRQkdA?...

Another very pertinent fact that I have not seen mentioned ANYWHERE: In 14 years of Tory rule we had 14 Prisons Ministers - six in a single year, at one point - and a total of 11 Justice Secretaries, including Grayling, Raab, and Truss. In 13 years of Labour it was three: Irvine, Falconer, Straw. 🤔
