Yesterday the UK Statistics Authority rebuked Tory ministers for lies about NHS spending. The watchdog has called on ministers to correct claims the coalition has increased NHS spending in England.
The UK Statistics Authority upheld a complaint about government claims the NHS budget had increased in real-terms in the past two years.
The watchdog found the best-available Treasury data suggested real-terms health spending was lower in 2011-12 than in 2009-10.

So have Cameron or Hunt apologised? Not heard anything yet and to make matters worse, the Conservative website is still printing the same lies here.
It seems peddling a lie comes easy for Tories- Cameron and Hunt on NHS spending and even in Ipswich we have a local Tory activist attempting to tell the blogosphere that a prominent Ipswich blog: Ipswich Spy is Labour supporting even though the main blogger from that site is a former Tory County Councillor and still close to the leadership of the Ipswich Tory Party.
So the lesson to be learnt is you can’t believe anything on a Tory website or blog!

Not sure how close to the leadership of Ipswich Tories I remain, given I left Ipswich Tories 8 years ago. I haven't had a conversation with the Borough Group leader in 5 years! Mind you, unlike your leader, he has never told me to piss off.
