It means he has just challanged Labour to match the pledge - thus giving Labour absolutely no money to do anything whatsoever with.

Yep, noticed they said they would match the pledge shortly after I posted this................... so Labour will have no money for anything unless growth gets to 2.5-3% and fast............................ which it won't.

I think a certain person on here might say that these commitments might change after they've been elected. 😀

So when the Ruskies are coming over them there hills, Labour are going to have a whip round to see if we can afford buy another catapult.

Although this from Sunak is kind of non committal too as they won't be there in 2030. Still, this is way it is going with European members of Nato...more money on defence.

Sorry to hear about the death of Frank Field. One for the few policitions I had any respect for.
We need more like him in parliament.

Rayner is the boss. No wonder they're desperate to get rid.

I dislike all politicians who choose to insult others by using any form of physical appearance as a weapon.

Sunak is short yes but there is no reason at all to use that to try and win points.

Very poor and all it does it tell the population it is OK to throw insults around.

It's another way to try to scare people about labour high taxes.

Might do some borrowing for investment spending to create some growth.

I agree, unless it's coming from Rayner and then it's fine.
