Remember Labours manifesto at the last election? It was supposedly "fully costed" and pretty much cast in stone.

Now they have to deliver it would seem there was a lot of things they missed and nobody told them about.

It is understood the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) is set to revise down its predictions for productivity of the UK economy, leading to a £20bn gap in meeting her tax and spending rules.

Sir Keir told MPs the downgrade showed the "true extent of the damage" done to the economy by the Conservatives, citing "austerity", Brexit and the mini-Budget under Liz Truss in September 2022.

Badenoch rejected this, and hit back that the prime minister was more prepared to "dip into people's pockets" than upset Labour MPs by cutting welfare spending.

"He is raising taxes because he is too weak to control spending. He's blaming us. He's blaming the OBR (Office for Budget Responsibility)," she added.

"Last week, they were blaming Brexit. Isn't the truth that with this prime minister, it's always someone else's fault?"

Possibly because most of it actually is 'someone else's fault' ... and can be traced back to the 14 years prior to this government... now which party was that?

Right, I am off in Tesco Express on the way home to help myself to a Snickers...

Should I put cocoa powder on my face while I am in there so that the local Old Bill see the CCTV and decide to take no further action for ‘community reasons’? I could get away with a multipack.
