We need politicians to get value for money so £1.2trillion WILL fund our NHS, pensions, defence and fix the potholes

Money mad

POPULAR myth has it that the country is falling apart because the wicked Tories are too mean to spend the big bucks where they’re needed.

It suits Labour to perpetuate this ­fiction. And many voters are buying it, judging by the polls.

Politicians need to be brave and level with Britain and change the perception of what we can afford[/caption]

Even the Tories like being perceived as careful with the nation’s money.

But not a word is true.

This year, with taxes at a 70-year high, public spending will hit a jaw-dropping £1.2 TRILLION. And yet public services continue to crumble — from lethal NHS waiting lists to the road craters our councils appear too skint to fix.

Our cash is spent lavishly, but badly.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s 2p National Insurance cut did not excite voters . . . they want even MORE put into services instead.

Covid furloughs and energy bailouts have let the nation believe the state can spend limitless sums and sort anything. It is the road to ruin.

We need politicians to get value for money so £1.2trillion WILL fund our NHS, pensions, defence and fix the potholes.

But we also need politicians brave enough to level with the country, change our perception of what Britain can afford, return us to sanity and CUT spending.

City’s shame

THE image of London as a harmonious rainbow city existed only in Mayor Sadiq Khan’s fevered imagination.

It was blown apart entirely by the ­racist hate marches after October 7.

Fanatics celebrated Hamas’s mass murder and rapes the next day — even before Israel had hit back.

“Peace marches” these were not.

It is no surprise now to hear Home Office extremism adviser Robin Simcox declare parts of the capital a “no-go zone for Jews”.

A few religious extremists and hard-Left cranks may feel safe among the mob chanting anti-Semitic slogans. Ordinary Jews live in fear of encountering them.

It’s time police swept this appalling ancient hatred off our streets by force — just as they would racist protests by far-right thugs.

Decent innings

DURING three turbulent years in No10, she was not able to get Brexit done. But we will say this for Theresa May as she calls time on her Westminster career:

She was a decent Home Secretary and had her moments as PM. She expelled scores of Russians after the Salisbury Novichok horror — and gave Putin a richly-deserved mouthful in person.

For decades Mrs May has been a dedicated public servant on behalf of her constituents, not least with her admirable diligence on the backbenches long after leaving No10.

On that, she puts other PMs to shame.
