The Netherlands govt resigned over a fairly similar debacle.

In the UK the attitude is, ‘we can’t resign over this, because we do this shit all the time…’

Ten years is really dumb when most people think five years is plenty.

The Govt must know that, so I am hoping that the ten years thing is just some bullshit they are throwing about now, which they think people will forget about in a while.

Thanks for the info.

After a coffee I managed to find a Parliamentary briefing paper with a graph up to 2020.

It shows, as you say, numbers increasing in the Corbyn period but staying much the same during Starmer’s time (till recently anyway.)

Bad screenshot attached…
