black holeThe Spectator
•The real reason the Treasury can’t find the fiscal ‘black hole’
56% Informative
The Chancellor was so shocked when she received the briefings from Treasury officials that she had no choice but to scrap her election commitments.
The Treasury needs more time to make sure the sums actually do add up to 22 billion as Labour ministers keep insisting.
In reality, the black hole’ is just a crude political device.
It exists purely to give the government an excuse for abandoning its election promises not to raise taxes.
