Future looks good for George Osborne

Labour only specialise in pointing out the Obvious. Buch of cretins, they have ran out of people to tax and they know it.

[ASB]

They are whining about increase in cost of living without answering how THEY are going to fix it - higher taxes won't exactly put more money into pockets of people.

That of course is the great luxury of opposition. No answers are needed.

Credible opposition is supposed to have them, especially given that Balls supposeldy wants OBR to audit their manifesto plans.

Well yes. Thats the theory. What we actually have is the reality.

The two Eds are planning a two-pronged attack:

1. Wages haven't kept up with the cost of living

2. The increased growth is flaky, only being due to increased household spending

Aren't these mutually exclusive?

2. The increased growth is flaky, only being due to increased household spending

The issue with that is that nothing Labour has in mind would do anything to resolve either of those problems; they'd probably entrench and perpetuate them.

Aren't these mutually exclusive?

Not necessarily. If you're reliant on credit, particularly based on rising house prices, household spending can go up without wages keeping track. The thing is, Labour isn't going to change course on this, so I fail to see what "solutions" they have other than "soak the 'rich' (and the middle/working class, while we're at it.)"

It will in labour land where everyone is on benefits....

And everyone is a permie. I bet they will turn up the hate on contractors, too.
