The old labour supporters realising they need to fit into the new labour movement suddenly realise that they are not being properly recognised by Cressida and Tarquin and this has led them to not be invited to the vegan BBQ - obviously the new labourites are most upset by this social slight and so start to try to social climb
and then get into debt.
Hope this helps clarify the situation
Not a situation I recognise. Must be a southerner thing.

There you go. Clearly not bollox as most of what I said is 100% factually correct.

The cause of all this debt is the result of ultra low interest rates and stupid easy credit. Nothing to do with political spectrum.
Although an incoming government will always lure voters for votes with some financial bait, it's been that way since forever. Truth is taxes need to increase.

Actually the CBI didn't predict catastrophe if the UK didn't join the Euro, they simply said the benefits outweigh the dangers.
This is the actual opinion of the CBI on joining the Euro:
Speaking at a CBI dinner, Mr Turner said there were dangers associated with joining the single European currency, but stressed that overall benefits would far outweigh them.
i.e. they said there were dangers in joining the Euro as well as benefits,.
What they didn't say was not joining would be a catastrophe.
The doom laden predictions of the CBI on the Euro is a myth.
