Richard MurphyWe do not need a strong economy to pay for the NHS. We need a strong NHS as a pre-condition of a strong economy. Government spending always comes before tax revenues can flow in. Never more true than the moment we are in now.
politicalwriter@RichardJMurphy and this is my argument for #FreeSchoolMeals for all too, that if we invest in the #health of our children then we will invest in the strength of our economy...and also help to protect the #NHS. When we have healthy, well-nourished children, they will become less of a 'burden' on services in the future. #Politics #CostOfLivingCrisis #Poverty #Education #Sunak
Barbara Crowther@politicowriter @RichardJMurphy Totally agree. Sadly Chancellor has not seized that opportunity today. Not even a crumb from his table on expanding eligibility, never mind the full meal for all that wd give the best economic return on investment.
