    Rishi Sunak didn't mention Brexit once in his . With the truth laid bare by the OBR it’s clear why. With just over a month until the transition period ends this govt must get a deal sorted. No deal would be catastrophic for jobs & growth.

    Seriously so done with this. People will see the damage and then realise the ‘capacity issue’ was a farce for vanity to show, ‘we did something’. Even though it’s from from £38bln to projected £128bln so far. Absolute joke!

    The announcement did not provide the strategy needed to genuinely improve the lives of the most vulnerable children in the long-run. The government must do more to level-up and build a brighter future for generations to come.

    "Our health emergency is not yet over.Our economic emergency has only just begun"says Rishi Sunak,so why compound these emergency situations with the more lasting damage of Brexit? To go ahead with Brexit on top of covid crisis is irresponsible.

    This 👇 yet public health grant effectively cut in the & local government teams taking on significant workload of Locally Supported Contact Tracing (ie the ones the national system fails to contact) with no additional resources ...and a pay freeze

    Staggering number buried in today’s winter plan: Test & Trace will cost an extra £7bn, so £22bn total this yr. To put that into perspective, that’s more than the ENTIRE cost of Crossrail (£18bn) or the Channel Tunnel (£9bn at the time, just under £20bn in today’s money).
