Edit: It would have been helpful if I'd said which staff the government were getting more of. "NHS" added below.



On a recent More or Less the government's initiative on getting more NHS staff in was analysed.

If implemented and with the current trend in population aging, it'll cost all of us an extra 6p in the pound in taxes.

I'm absolutely not surprised at our high tax levels, especially after the Pandemic and the economic problems of Brexit.

The Tories can't even cut tax, which is practically their raisin denture.
