Labour with policy statements.
100% about prevention, that will be the best way to cut costs. preventative is usually far more cost effective even it means rewards schemes for smokers and incentives for obese people to lose weight.
The Treasury expects to recover only £1 of every £4 stolen from the public purse by fraudsters during the pandemic, it has admitted for the first time.
The department has written off £4.3 billion of £5.8 billion that was stolen from its emergency Covid-19 schemes that propped up swathes of the workforce during successive lockdowns, including the furlough scheme, the self-employed income support programme and Eat Out to Help Out.

We are run by absolute donkeys I swear, it’s just easy to write off such substantial amounts of money eh?
Shelagh Fogarty @ShelaghFogarty
Rishi Sunak has written off over £4 billion of Covid fraud on furlough and other schemes during the pandemic. Meanwhile, overpayment of benefits by relatively small amounts is chased up for years causing untold stress. What is the Government coming after you for?

He announced that at conference last year.
Still no policy detail. I actually think they should look at funding exercise, literally pay people to log a certain amount of activity each day, either by sign in/outs at a gym/pool or by measured walking/cycling/running through apps like strava Garmin, Google fit etc..
Obviously put a cap on it like £1 a day or something, I guess the potential savings would need to balance out the cost. It would be interesting to see a study undertaken/theorised

100% more money spent chasing benefit cheats than tax cheats. I think the number reported were like cheating benefits cost the country around £3 billion a prior to covid but those dodging tax cost the country £120 billion.

Hoping Boris sees out his tenure now, he’s absolutely killed the Tories.
Dominic Cummings says he will "swear under oath" that Boris Johnson not only knew about May 20, 2020 drinks party, but that he "agreed it should go ahead".
If true, these claims are explosive, as would mean PM had lied to House of Commons.

Hes already done that several times.
Nothing sticks to him
See royal mail put out another statement about postcode delays, blaming it on covid again.. fackin liars.
Stevey Boy Baker making himself available for comment outside Number Ten. From the Beeb:
‘Mr Baker told reporters: "My constituents at the moment are about 60 to one against the prime minister.
"I've listened very carefully to members of my [Conservative party] association, too. There are some very strident voices in my constituency demanding that I support the prime minister.
"What I would say is I made my view very clear at the beginning of December: that there must be one rule for all; that the rule-makers must obey the rules that they apply on others."
Mr Baker said MPs were waiting for the result of Ms Gray's investigation.
The MP later added "it was impossible to say" if Mr Johnson would lead his party into the next general election.’
I really, really facking hope he puts himself forward to replace Johnson. I’d love to see his pitch
According to Conservative Home, he’s Tory members’ fourth choice ATM, behind Truss (also ), Sunak and Mordaunt.

Sadly that's the truth.
Royal mail blame covid, but we have ONE person off with it ATM and 5 rounds failed every day last week.
We had 4 days worth of mail in one frame on Friday, it only for delivered because someone finally phoned up to complain.
It's disgusting, people used to go to jail for the behaviour that the upper management are causing.

Pay for workers in Britain has fallen in real terms for the first time in more than a year, despite signs that employers shrugged off concerns over the Omicron variant to continue hiring in December.
Average wages, after taking account of inflation, dropped in November for the first time since July 2020 amid growing concerns over the hit to living standards this year from high inflation and surging energy bills.
The Office for National Statistics said that although average total earnings grew at an annual rate of 4.2% in November, the impact from soaring rates of inflation meant workers suffered a 0.9% real-terms cut in their pay packets. The official rate of inflation hit a 10-year high of 5.1% in November.
