THE Tory beauty horror contest finalists are now competing with each other to commit to spending billions of pounds of our money that they have suddenly found as vote-for-me bribes to get Tory members’ votes.
Well I would like to know where those billions were hiding before Boris and Tory Jeremy found them.
Which budgets will have to be cut to fund their promises, especially as I believe the Chancellor has said a hard Brexit means the money won’t be there. Who is paying for their respective teams of advisors? Have they been promised anything we don’t know about if their candidate wins?
I think we need the answers before the next PM is chosen and definitely before the next Budget.
And while we are at it, who is funding Nigel’s party and likewise how is he going to fund his election promises? We need to know this.
And the two LibDem leadership contenders have committed on Channel 4 News to being willing to use nuclear weapons.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
