  1. People don't understand economics. I've had numerous conversations over the years explaining economic multipliers on government tax and spend explaining how cutting services with Austerity actually shrank the economy producing less tax revenues Ex defunding the justice system by Osborne increased crime, increases in unsolved crime especially theft has negative effects on the population and companies in relation to GDP > than the savings made by Austerity

  2.  @ignoranceisbliss6259  I'll give you an even worse example defunding nurse and doctor training leads to exponential growth in the need for migrant professional workers They can't cut net migration because a huge chunk of it is driven by Austerity and would take a decade to rectify

  3. The lead is baked in, Starmer isn't regarded as a threat to middle England who will vote tactically to destroy the Tories because of their chronic ineptitude

  4. It was politically dumb to put a number on it The number becomes the issue everyone talks about not the policy

  5. The economy has got progressively worse since the last election, Truss's mini budget salted the earth with the Gilt markets, Sunak is already overborrowing so there is only 1 option Labour.

  6. Been following the focus groups on Times Radio, they've gone from a soft labour lead to baked in we need change

  7. Theres a broader problem with the 28 billion figure. It was always a theoretical figure, Sunak and Co have maxed out borrowing to 130 billion last year and debt to gdp is rising + The tories have baked in 10% cuts to services in the next budget to salt the earth. The quickest way of getting green investment going at warp speed is changes to planning to stop grid upgrade roll out being stalled, the best way to get retro fit insulation is to have a body composed of experts + builders come up with cost effective solutions alligned with tax breaks. No vat on solar + installs etc ​@BCync
