Graham Jones claims that "in 1997 this country was down and out". That is complete and utter rubbish. In 1997 Labour inherited a very healthy economy, which they have been flogging to bits ever since. Perhaps GJ is not old enough to remember 1979, when Labour had to go cap in hand to the International Monetary Fund, because we were on the rocks. Yes, the same IMF who are now warning Labour that their spending plans are ludicrous and they will need to borrow £35 million.

Labour = higher spending for fewer results, and higher taxes. If you want to pay an extra 10% in tax, I don't.
