OUCH !

I listened to WATO, ED Stourton interviewing Mandy the Weasel , more proof of the UK's sovereign status as ER Airstrip One !

Small lol on opening bluesky --



"" The other main trick that the spin doctors pulled was to compare two individual financial years that were five years apart, i.e. 2024-25 (the last funding settlement determined by the Tories) and 2029-30.

This meant a degree of cherry picking and using a previous figure rather as a comparator, rather than what would have been spent. ""


So the spinners compared the last year budgeted by the Tories to a future Labour year AFTER several years of increments !
