I watched the Liberal Conference on & off for couple of hours in total.
Promising XYZ if they are elected - you can promise everything when you have no chance of being in power.
I put the Labour Party Conference on today for some 20 minutes - It was John McDonnell promising a 32 hour week in 2029, banning zero hours contracts, spending £500Bn, free care for over 65s..........
Again promising things that cannot be delivered - it is a 2 week wait for a GP appointment today.
(The SNP were going to magic up 800 GPs but attained zero extra as they do not exist) so Labour's promise to be fulfilled he would need 20% increase in GP numbers to stand still - a GP's training is roughly 8 years and medical schools are already full. Where are the extra nurses to come from? A reduced working week but that does not affect the number needing hospitalisation.
Working 8 hours less and presumably producing less where does the money come from to pay employees? He stated 32 hours and no reduction in wages................ there must be a magic money tree in the garden of Corbyn's allotment.
Next week we will undoubtedly get the Tory promises.......................
