Where is all this money coming from?

[SueEllen]

2.5bn for the NHS
15bn for roads
1bn loans guarantee for small businesses
Extra billions for the EU.

The pledges were made earlier in the year or the year before so it's not actually new money.

They have just publicised them again because there is an election in May.

Wait till the new lot get in next year, we'll be able to tax ourselves into prosperity

The fact the UK economy is growing? The fact inflation means you have to put more in to get the same effect? The (possible) fact money is being saved somewhere else?
