We knew this before the election because there were press releases about the hole and lots of places were talking about it. What was beyond ridiculous was how the top two parties were completely ignoring it as if it hadn’t been released and that somehow their “fiscal plans” were somehow still valid.
It seems we swapped one set of liars for a slightly less bad set of liars. Its the Conservatives fault the hole exists and they lied about it, but Labour also knew it existed through the election period and ignored it too and then “surprise there is a hole, more austerity must now happen”.
