Two other genuine questions:Genuine question: Are those spending increases in real terms or just the headline number?

Two other genuine questions:
- how much of this was previously budgeted, certainly £4.2 of the transport infrastructure was being bandied around.
- how much of this is simply bringing up back to 2010 levels of expenditure, given 10 years of Gideon's 'austerity' budgets ie courts, prisons, schools, science research. I say that given the government promises to build more hospitals at the last election - I believe 1 maybe new, the other projects in development were happening anyway
It is possible that things can be announced, planned, then budgeted for............. like new stadiums.
Rishi did get told off by Madam Deputy Speaker for "leaking" too much ahead of addressing the HoC.
Most expensive "cuts" I've ever seen in my life.
Not sure about the "debt levels are down" BS from Sunak though. How can that possibly be the case? Is anybody able to explain the thinking behind that or is it just a clear and obvious lie?
Did he definitely say debt (cumulative indebtedness across all years) and not deficit (what is borrowed in a single year)?Most expensive "cuts" I've ever seen in my life.
