Chancellor Condems Labour's Economic Plans

08 March 2011

 

In an article from the Guardian this week the Chancellor, George Osborne, attacks Labour's economic plans as lacking reality and credibility.

The article makes three substantial points:

  • That Labour is in denial of the structural deficit that existed prior to 2007. If they can't admit the errors of the past, how can they be trusted in the future?
  • That Labour says it would keep to Alastair Darling's plan to halve the deficit within four years, but every day we see them oppose the spending cuts that this would require.
  • That Labour is at odds with expert opinion, both at home and abroad, on the need for the UK to deal with its deficit and debt.

Commenting, Stephen Williams said:

“This is a very popular idea which would give the public something back for bailing out the banks.

“I welcome the Treasury Select Committee’s review into what to do with the Government’s holding in RBS and Lloyds and hope that it furthers the case for giving the public their share.”
