    Nope.
    We were told for the duration of the election there was no money tree. Theresa May even talked down to a nurse on live TV about the money tree.
    Two weeks later low and behold,a money tree.

    She also said there would be no election before 2020.

    They make it up as they go along.

    The Tories clearly want to hang on for 5 years.  I doubt they will, but then again....

    May will probably be replaced circa Tory conference later this year.

    Edit to add:  Bo-Jo probably in October.

    • The government will make £400 million available for infrastructure development in Northern Ireland.
    • A further £150 million will be spent on ultrafast broadband in the province.
    • £200 million will go towards "transforming the health service" - despite a £22billion cutbacks programme across Britain.
    • Schools and Hospitals in Northern Ireland will get £100 million to "address immediate pressures."
    • A further £100 million will go to "target pockets of severe deprivation", despite continuing welfare cuts and the benefit freeze in Britain.
    • And over five years, £50 million will be spent on mental health services, including tackling the lasting effect on people of the Troubles.
