    Summary:
    Tory: corporate jargon
    OBR: we only know what the treasury tells us. The treasury decided to stop telling us anything
    Tory: so the system never worked, right?
    OBR: the system worked until the tories decided to break teh system and the law enforcing it
    Tory: but the (independent organism) obr depends on politicians... we should make that clear
    OBR: obr shoudl stay independent. Politicians should not be able to affect the communication
    Tory: but it's a shame labour put you in a mess
    OBR: no. It's a shame tories broke the law and prevented us from doing our job

    In 2010, with the full cooperation of the MSM, the Conservatives had successfully blamed the global crash on Labour. In 2024, with the full cooperation of the MSM, the Tories are saying there was no black hole. I did like the OBR boss's quip though, that previously their working relationship with the Treasury was one of trust, but in the future it will be one of trust and verify.

      ​@beatonthedonisI think you should more properly condemn the shenanigans of some of the biggest names in banking, including hedge fund managers or investors like Rishi Sunak. One of the most knowledgeable and senior financial bods from the US and who at one time was associated with the Bank of England, actually lauded what Gordon Brown did prior to and post the financial crash, and did not try to blame him for things beyond his control. The film The Big Short is an excellent precis of who was really behind the global crash. Brown actually helped to prevent the UK from being even more damaged financially.

If by "full cooperation" you mean that the MSM is just reporting what both sides are saying then yeah, there is "full cooperation". Tories did a good job pushing a certain narrative in the years after 2008, Labour didn't really push back much. MSM reported what each side was saying at the time too. I think you're seeing something that isn't there.

    Trust inn politicians has collapsed amongst the general population so when I hear Richard describing the interaction between OBR officials and Treasury officials being based on trust instead of "trust with verification" which apparently will be the case going forward, I'm wondering why "trust with verification" wasn't the common-sense rule in the first place. Politics is riddled with psychopaths and the self-interested so it would seem to me that allowing an arrangement of trust amongst oversight bodies is a contradiction in terms. Oversight bodies should not trust those they overlook, they should mistrust and measure and verify as the default rule as an entity with oversight powers and responsibility.

      I think if you agree with the Tories about budget management, then you should not make suggestions about what anyone else should do. This clip shows that to be true. It may well be that the investment in green energy SAVES THE PLANET. It is an economic fact that the cost of doing nothing will be far higher in the future than the cost of doing things now to help the climate. Maybe the investment in Africa pays back elsewhere, I don’t know, but what I do know is that they haven’t done it without carefully considering the costs and all benefits. They will have information that you and I don’t have. Also, they aren’t hiding the expenditure from you and me.

    A seriously misleading title. There is no "schooling" going on here. A select committee MP asks an intelligent question about a breakdown in communication between the Treasury and OBR. Leading to a deterioration in trust and a need for improved verification procedures. It's dry, technical and deceptively important. And we've got £9.5bn of departmental spending pressures not disclosed. That leaves £12.5bn to go before we get to the £22bn black hole, including discretionary decisions made by the new government. This is a serious, illuminating exchange and highlights governance deficiencies.

So regrettable that you failed to even achieve that!

      The 9 billion is the figure confirmed as existing by the OBR. The 22 billion is the figure if you factor in the previous government's proposed / promised spending plans moving forward. At least that is how I understand it. Both things can be true at once.
