I think you'd have to be very gullible (or desperate to support BJ &co) to believe for one minute that these 'promises' could/will be kept.

We're being told that the only reason BJ is proroguing parliament is to clear the way for his generous spending plans. Never mind facts and figures!

Can anyone take these pledges seriously? Think red bus lies!

Massive spending promises.

In fact they will break the Tories fiscal rules and completely undermine the Tories economic credibility.

The U.K. is teetering on the brink of recession, and this should drastically cut Javid room for manoeuvre if he follows his promise to stick to Tory borrowing rules.

But we all know that the government lies and lies and lies.
