Tunnocks are a great family firm. Also highly recommend you try the Tunnocks Caramel wafers. Mostly chocolatey & very thin wafers, with just enough caramel to stick them together. Caramel log is same but with toasted coconut. Can't recommend the snowball unless you like supersweet marshmallow.

When Johnson announced his "40 hospitals", he only provided enough funding for 6.
So Labour were bequeathed an unfunded promise of 34 hospitals. They're not cancelling anything, if the original "plans" included no money
