I will be wrong more than I'm right.
Imagine there was never 'clear evidence' he was - like the Russia report - it will sort fo say....he almost certainly was....but unless there is a picture of him doing something or a email where he says something very direct, he'll claim it clears him and MAGA will go with it.

They are never going to 'out reform, reform', but when they are only talking about migration they are just giving reform votes. There is a reason why they are not saying anyting on this, labor are doing it for them.
TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE!!!!

Yes....you!
Would really like to know if the government really belive all this stuff, or if they do just think its the only optino given reforms popularity.
However, will never 'out reform, reform' so every day they keeptalking about it, you are given them a platform. TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE!

They seem to be focused on what taxes 'play well' in the media and are popular - not ones that are effective and/or supprt there wider policy agenda (which is part of the problem, as they don't seem to have one).

What about the NHS? They've certainly not got everything right in terms of policy, but did give it another decent lump of cash.
And if digital ID cards matter as much as everything else they are doing.....

But the NHS isn't allowed to spend money on anything but Drs and nurses, but then is complained at when it ain't as productive as the private sector (actually it is for healthcare) who do spend money on things that aren't Drs and nurses. Can't win

This is such a joke. Forecasts in multiple years are never accurate enough for a £20bn gap to be anything but a guess. We are so desperate to fill news every moment we just report so much crap.

Who are 'economists'? You'll always be able to find someone who calls themselves and economist who will say something. Maybe don't just report headlines, but actually what proper, grown ups are saying etc.

Whatever policy is proposed there will always be someone, a group, or think tank who will say it won't work, or will backfire. Every single policy. We need to do more than just report all the noise.

The NHS is trialing CoPilot and it does help on a wide range of things and certainly are areas where it helps admin productivity - the question will be, does it to the value of £10per user per month or whatever the licence will cost...and/or if this is the future, can the NHS not to?

Every headline about labour (and it may not be all they are saying, but certainly all the stuff that is breaking through) is about migration and small boats. Nothing on the 100s, 1000s of other things they need to be working on. I have no ideae of any other policy they have outside of migration

The NHS is generally considered to have some of the lowest unit costs for medicines in the developed world. It does amazingly well with its buying power.

I don't get the strategy either. They are going to get hammered by the right either way. Why not just talk and do things on the bits they want to do etc. The energy, effort and focus on a small number of people (this is all the small boats) is crazy!

errr...you can do all the stuff he is saying would be 'extra'. Its often via a coupel of different websites etc and you have a gov.uk log in (or ID shall we say). Maybe just bringing it all together under one banner would be good, but not sure where the ID card comes with this?

100% agree. This feels political and about being able to say tough on crime etc.
I'd rather a few people who should have been convicted go into 'not proven' than 1 person who is inncoent get convicted.

Love the kingsfund, but this isn't 'looking at the numbers' its a thought piece around possible reasons, not analysis.
Anyway, my thoughts are in the same - i'd also add in that maybe there is a natural limit to the size of the WL. After a while there aren't the same number of people to get ill?

no....why should they? We may not like him, may disagree strongly with him politics, but in the same way GN news shouldn't bad hosts or Refrom shouldn't ban jurnos, you shouldn't just ban people.

Thats a fair point - especially the workarounds - hadn't really thought about that - so thank you.
Comment probably refelects the frustration that sactions won't really end the war and we don't have much else in the arsenal eitherway.

We had fastest growth in the G7 or something last quarter didn't we!?! We are far far far too reactionary to every data point. This will also be revised later on as well.

I think we're going to disagree on this eitherway. Howerver, i do want to be clear i'm a passionate supporter of the NHS and its founding principles. We just disagree with what the issues are that we should be focusing on to try improve it.

Just shy of 2,000,000 people were added to the WL in July 25 (up from 1.7m in April). So the number of people added to the WL is going up, not down.

Done nothing in terms of stopping Russia waging war. I was flippant, but its what 2 1/2 years of war, sanctions haven't stopped it and we've probably (i assume) by now used all the main ones, so feels symbolic. I'd also query, why haven't these been done sooner?
