> He [Slater] told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “The actual ask in the Spending Review of 2021 was to double the 100 to 200 – that’s what we thought was going to be practical at first instance. I thought we’d get it, but the actual decision that the chancellor took in 2021 was to halve the size of the programme.”
> But asked if he was to blame for the concrete crisis, Mr Sunak said: “I think that is completely and utterly wrong.
>”Actually one of the first things I did as chancellor, in my first spending review in 2020, was to announce a new 10-year school re-building programme for 500 schools.
>”Now that equates to about 50 schools a year, that will be refurbished or rebuilt.
“those allegations that I only funded 50 schools per year are completely wrong. I actually funded 500 over a 10 year period, which equates to about 50 per year”
PM and previous Chancellor of the Exchequer, has overseen the highest level of taxes (which are still rising) and the lowest department spending, and he is not to blame.
Fuck off Sunak, resigned and general election NOW!
“It’s not my fault!” Every Tory cabinet minister for the last 13 years.
In fairness how many schools have Labour built since 2010? Sunak is doing far better than Starmer who hasn’t built a SINGLE school.
Anyway, look! Asylum seekers!!
I’m not sure if it’s a denial if you go onto say the EXACT thing you are being accused of!
How do you know when a tory minister is lying? They open their mouth
