Original Note:
While carried out by civil servants, costings are based on assumptions from Tory special advisors As a result they have political reasons to assume more expenditure. E.g., teacher bonus costs assume 100% retention This is normal practice but the numbers are misleading https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/costing-opposition-policies https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/opposition-policy-costings-2024
