Today George Osborne pledged extra funding for the NHS – but hasn’t said where it would come from. Yet only a few months ago, David Cameron said this at PMQs:
“the real risk to the NHS is the risk of unfunded spending commitments bringing chaos to our economy, which would wreck our NHS. That is the risk and that is why the choice at the election will be to stick with the people with a long-term plan, not a Labour party that would wreck our economy and wreck our NHS.” (emphasis ours)
A video of the key line is already being tweeted by the Labour Party. But there’s still no word on how Osborne would fund this – he’s on Marr tomorrow morning.
