    Stop wasting money on illegal migrant hotels . Save you millions a week .
  • What we will see now is a long line of Tories attempting to attack Labour about tax rises. We are borrowing more money than ever, we are taxing more than ever, we have had 14 years of draconian public spending cuts leaving our public services crumbling, local councils going into administration and we have all felt the 14 years of Tory austerity. My question is if we are borrowing more than ever and taxing higher than ever where has all that money gone? I believe we need criminal investigations into where all the taxpayers money has gone!!

  • She is brilliant and always knew she would be. She laid out in full with what we know now the recklessness of the last government. They deserved what they got and from Hunt's face the truth was driven home. Never again should they hold the reigns of power as they are just not up to the job.

    Isn't the point of a shadow to put checks and balances in place so this sort of stuff doesn't happen?

    10 billion for public sector workers pay rise, 11.6 billion for the foreign aid budget, free food and WARM accommodation for asylum seekers and some quite poor pensioners can freeze.

    Labour should find out where the money went over the last 4 years, AND GO AND GET IT BACK..............NOT expect the pensioners to plug the hole!!

    Retrospective legislation is in any case illegal, under Human Rights legislation.
