Well you have to attack the Govt. somehow don't you.



'there is no recovery'......'it's the wrong type of recovery'







You've been wrong before. You're wrong again.

A slight upturn in a very much self-induced downturn, is certainly no cause for celebration

He actually wrote ' its just not going to pick up that much if at all' which is pretty much bang on as it hasn't picked up much sweetheart.

Once again, you have failed to actually present any genuine evidence.

We are still below where we were before the election.

You remind me of the Thatcher administration who increased VAT (and, consequently, increased inflation) and then a year later, when that self-created inflation figure dropped out of the annual comparison, said that it showed they were beating inflation.







Merely saying so doesn't make it true.

Thank you for proving I am right.



This "....its just [unot going to pick up that much[/u if at all between now and the election so they won't have much success to point to." Is 100% correct because contrary to be what appears to be your position that we are booming it has [inot picked up that much at all[/i!



And by the way if you are so convinced of this governments economic prowess is Osborne going to eradicate the structural deficit by 2015 as promised? Not even close.

You are wrong too.



On Friday 25 January 2013:







What happened to the triple dip that even a blind man could see coming? We didn't even have a double dip!





Oh dear, maybe you should buy yourself a new crystal ball.

Rubbish.



0.7% growth in the last quarter and a trend of growth. 1% in two quarters.



What are you going to do when the economy grows again in the next quarter? Bury your head in the sand and continue your anti-tory rubbish because you can't bear giving them any credit?

That would be like celebrating Harold Shipman because he once tried to resucitate one of his victims.



get real daft lad

Labour are very worried now the economy is improving so I know why you are upset. Nevermind carry on being bitter, like I said, lefties would rather the economy tanked than it improve under the guidance of a tory chancellor. Carry on pretending you care about the poor and the hardworking - it just doesn't wash.

It was the tories and their chums who tanked the economy in the first place. In 2010 they took over a growing economy with improving job figures and systematically destroyed the stimulus

The GDP growth trend has been going down since mid 2010, both quarterly and annually.

Job vacancies are roughly 20% lower than pre-crash

The unemployment rate is roughly 30% higher than pre-crash

Government debt to GDP has risen from 80% to 90.7% since the election

Government spending has risen by 10% pre-crash, around 7% since the election and 5% in the first 2 quarters of 2013.

Business confidence is 3 times lower than at the time of the election.

Industrial production growth is 3 times lower than at the time of the election.

Bankruptcies are roughly 30% higher than pre crash

Personal savings are roughly 40% lower than at the time of the election.

The economy is still roughly 15% smaller than it was pre-crash.

Yeah ... but we got some minuscule growth in GDP last quarter... Ha ! ... proof that Osborne's a genius !
