Labour dismisses Tory nursing recruitment pledge

Norman Smith

Assistant political editor

Labour sources dismiss Boris Johnson’s pledge to recruit 50,000 more nurses in very colourful language, saying it is not credible as to recruit 24,000 nurses costs £1bn.

And yet Boris Johnson has set aside only £879m to recruit 50,000 more nurses.

Somehow the sums don't add up.

Boris Johnson launches Conservative manifesto with 50,000 nurses pledge

Tories’ election promise of £2.9bn extra public spending dwarfed by £83bn pledged by Labour

Boris Johnson has pledged to hire 50,000 more nurses as he launched a restrained manifesto that promises only £2.9bn extra in public spending a year by the end of the next parliament against £83bn a year outlined by Labour.

Appearing in Telford in the West Midlands, the prime minister said his aims were not just to “get Brexit done” but to “level up across the country” by improving the NHS, schools and police.

However, the scale of his extra spending on public service was revealed as modest by a costings document published alongside the slim 60-page manifesto. It said an additional £1.5bn would be spent on public services next year, £2.8bn the year after and £2.9bn in 2022 and 2023.


The scale of spending ambitions between the two parties is stark: for every pound the Conservatives have pledged to spend by the end of the next parliament, Labour has promised £28.

e reveal the latest in the UK political markets.

With the UK heading to the polls in just under a month, the political betting markets are fluctuating on a daily basis.

But which political party is the favourite to gain the most seats? Will there be an overall majority? What are the chances of a second EU referendum? When will Brexit actually happen?
Most seats

The Conservative Party are clear favourites to win the most seats in the next general election, and are priced at 1/14 to do so.

That’s the equivalent of a 93% implied probability that the Tories win the most seats after December 12th.

On the other side of parliament, Labour have drifted out to a lengthy 12/1 in the market. In implied probability terms, that’s just a 7.7% chance of winning.
Overall majority

This is another market that the Tory party continue to dominate, especially following Nigel Farage’s statement that the Brexit Party would not contest 317 Conservative-held seats.

Odds have been cut from 5/6 into 8/13 that the eventual result of the general election will be a Conservative majority.

The next most likely outcome in that market is no overall majority, which is priced at 13/8.

In regards to a Labour majority government, it's a lowly 28/1 according to bookmakers.
Second EU referendum

With the Tory party looking set to win the election (according to bookmakers), there is little chance that the UK is subject to a second EU referendum.

No second EU referendum is currently the strong favourite at 1/4. On the other side, it’s 11/4 that we have another EU referendum before 2021.
Brexit date

With the October 31st deadline scuppered, bookmakers are predicting that the UK will leave the EU between January and June 2020.

That’s the favourite in the market at 1/2, followed by not before 2022 which is priced at 10/3.

April 2020 to June 2020 is 8/1, followed by October 2019 to December 2019, available at 16/1 to happen before the end of this year.

The data protection act should cover personal income! It's solely a matter between HMRC and the tax payer! Sticking your nose in somebody else's trough is no more than snooping into private affairs! “The Snoopers’ Charter” (official permission to open Pandora's box) has consequences and is responsible for all the ills of Society today!
Spend all your energy idly fretting about the Jones's next door instead of working harder to keep up with them, will drive you to food banks they've generously stocked for your indolence!

g2: Make no mistake, 'Final Salary' Schemes were not compelled to close down because of fiscal charge by GB. Many are indeed still going. Employers saw that as a chance to lower their own exposure and net expenditure, to the detriment of their employees.

HMRC take mountains more in quantum terms from high earners!
It's just envy that drives Labourites to demand a larger percentage of an exponentially larger amount! Fairness implies impartiality and far from the minds of Socialists who's raison d'être in politics is squeezing the successful till the pips squeak!

Labour Party supporters aren't really in a strong position to talk about theft of pensions, are they? Gordon Brown hasn't been forgotten yet.

[bbalanjones] 24/11/2019 12:32

#WASPI issue discussed on the @MarrShow programme on the BBC this morning. @AngelaRayner said our money has been stolen by previous governments and should be paid back. We anticipate a lively day in the news courtesy of @UKLabour, who actually listened to #WASPIwomen’s concerns.

Of Course BoJo pleaded "Poverty" on the same issue.

It is a great pity that Andrew Marr did not push Michael Gove hard enough on the theft of pensions from the Waspi women, he let Gove brush over the whole question..

Did the Tories and Lib Dems take your pension? If you’re a woman born in the 1950s, Labour is #OnYourSide. By asking the richest to pay their fair share, we can have a fair system. That’s #RealChange.

VOTE LABOUR - A good move.

If this were wartime Dominic Grieve would be awarded a VC. No probs.

The whole ERG would be leaving via the "Traitors Gate".

#700. The greater the euphoria the bigger the potential for gains.

[grahamite2] 24/11/2019 12:12

People on The Telegraph are likening Dominic Grieve to Kim Philby and the rest. There's actually something in it - arrogant, entitled people who think they know best and everyone else knows nothing, willing to stoop to the very lowest villainy if it will serve their purpose.

It really is a hoot on this thread, so many folks parroting the overblown concerns emanating from the Tory press.

In Maggies days they would be termed "Frit". They must be really scared - leaking the polling lead so rapidly.

The Labour spend will only take us back to 2010.

Even Winnie Churchill advocated a United Europe.

Just love the Labour pitch on Women's "STOLEN" pension years. A major vote winner for WASPI women.
