Original Note:
In the video the Prime Minister repeats an assertion that £22bn "was not on the books". No valid evidence has been presented for this claim and independent analysis by the OBR denies that it exists. It is a manufactured claim used to justify tax increases. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/10/31/obr-casts-doubt-on-reevess-22bn-black-hole-claim/ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2e12j4gz0o
