There has only been one Labour Government that would not have been formed without the Scottish Labour MPs .

All other Labour Governments would have been elected by just the Labour MPs elected in England and Wales .

Re: The Tories

how can you support a party that has caused so much misery to hard working families and by the way they have done another u-turn by recruiting for more civil servants

Helloooooooo......there is a recession on everywhere.....not just in this country but all over the world......if people haven't got money they don't spend, if they don't spend, then it isn't worth making stuff.....if it isn't worth making stuff because nobody is buying , then companies lay off workers...or worse still go bust.

You want us to spend our way out of a recession? What with?
The last government spent all the readies......they left the tin box empty.

Re: The Tories

Seeems inflation has fallen this month= prices lower= more to spend. Economical swings and roundabouts.

PM of Italy, Mario Monti has visited Dave today - cuts a better figure than Silvio Berlusconi and he can speak pretty good English too.

Re: The Tories

I was reminding you that we are in a world recession so that you culd take account of that ...and not expect things to get better anytime soon.
If the last government hadn't got the finances into an almighty mess then perhaps we would have more to play with right now...but that fact is a bit inconvenient for you isn't it?...despite the fact that both Labour party Eds reckon the cuts would have been undertaken if Labour had by some miracle got back into power....and have said that if by some chance they do get into power in the future they won't be cutting taxes or chucking the money about like they did before.

You say that the last government was paying off more than this government........wasn't it the last government that left this government all the debt with their daft spending?


anyway, oh great one......seeing as you are so knowledgeable, perhaps yu would give us some words of wisdom about how exactly you would sort out the situation?

Elucidate.......How is he hiding if you know where he is?
Perhaps he has gone to forge some business ties just in case the EU goes down the plughole...after all it is circling the drain....despite all those meetings to sort it out.

And you actually think things would be better with Labour in charge, we heard that once remember "Things can only get better", they took over in 1997 one of the strongest performing economies in the world and turned it into a basket case in 13 years, its labour who have caused the misery for hard working families with their total incompetence running the economy. Labour don't do economic management, they have failed on the four occasions they have held power. Now even Ed Balls has held his hands up and backed the government's pay freeze and cuts in the public sector, well he had to really, most people do live in the real world, well that is except a few jocks and the odd southern exile

Not quite everywhere ...

And it is not only democratic socialists who don't accept that cuts by themselves are the only remedy for economic problems. S&P ... not a hotbed of radical socialism ... suggest that a blinkered focus on cutting is not the way out; there has to be growth. And government has to put money into it. Many criticized President Obama for his bail out of the US auto industry; but it worked. Or, at least, succeeded more than it failed.

Re: The Tories

Succesive British Goverrnments have not been keen to bail out failing companies, preferring to let them find a buyer...even if that buyer is from overseas(taking jobs out of the country)......and while there may be some places not suffering in the current financial crisis, they are the exception rather than the rule....certainly on this side of the pond.

Growth relies on sturdy market forces, and the market forces have been subdued for quite some time now........insecurity of the current situation in the Eurozone(to which you over there, seem to be immune) is not helping. There doesn't appear to be any kind of solution emerging....this despite all the meetings and summits organised by Merkel and Sarkozy......Britain is going to be asked to commit another 65 billion pounds to the IMF to shore up the Eurozone(and this won't be the last time we are asked I can assure you), when in all probability there is nothing to save the single currency........The government might have had some spare readies to put in, if the last lot(and I don't care what colour t heir coat was - I have no partisan feelings to any of the parties....they all wazz in the same pot) had not been so profligate in their spending.
