FLASHBACK: Starmer Promised No More NHS Spending 48 Days Ago
Robber Reeves has announced a £22.6 billion increase in day-to-day NHS spending. More than the now-debunked “black-hole” Labour claim they inherited. And a huge U-turn on a Starmer commitment from just 48 days ago…
Starmer said on 12th September:
“The NHS is at a fork in the road and we have a choice about how it should meet those demands. Don’t act and leave it to die, raise taxes on working people or reform to secure its future. Now working people can’t afford to pay more so it’s reform or die. So let me be clear from the outset what reform does mean. It does not mean just putting more money in…we have to fix the plumbing before turning on the taps. So hear me when I say this. No more money without reform.”
Has the NHS been reformed in those 48 days? Now Reeves is pledging a whopping increase in spending while she unveils the largest tax hiking budget in recorded history. Now, it’s ‘working people’ who will be footing the bill. A cost Starmer promised – whilst in government – Labour wouldn’t impose. Forget pre-election promises – they’re forgetting the ones they made six weeks ago…
