GOVERNMENT funding promises for the NHS are “so dodgy they belong on the side of a bus,” Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said today.

He urged PM Theresa May during Prime Minister’s Questions to “be straight” with the public by specifying the taxes she expects would help raise the funds.

Earlier this week, the government announced that it would boost the NHS budget by more than £20 billion a year, which ministers say will also be paid for by more borrowing and a “Brexit dividend” that Mr Corbyn pointed out would not materialise until 2022.
