Background
We have heard of the supposed 'Black Hole' in Government spending since the day after Labour were elected. The amount changes almost daily, but WITHOUT any underlying data. We believe the reason is that the 'Black Hole' contains spending the government has itself committed to SINCE they have been elected, and has little, if anything, to do with the previous government.
