Sunak & Hunt scrambling to fill a £40bn black hole in treasury…
So remember:

£37bn on Test & Trace that made “no measurable difference"
£42bn on Brexit divorce bill
£32bn on lost taxes due to Brexit trade hit

It is a complete abdication of responsibility for both the Prime Minister and the Chancellor to miss another vital Cobra meeting yesterday.
They are too busy looking over their shoulders at the Conservative party to provide the leadership our country needs.
The Conservatives’ Health & Social Care Bill - which is being voted on tonight - will split our NHS into 42 parts. It will let private companies sit on each of the 42 boards making decisions on funding and services. Private companies should have no say in the running of our NHS.
