Poor George, not to be leader, even his colleagues detest him. Never mind he's got his 'punishment budget' to deliver, which he will enjoy, Tories love punishment I hear.... ;)

I don't normally go for the get yourself heavily in debt to invest and create jobs situation that the previous Labour governments seemed to favour. In fact, I'd far rather we lived within our means (as Osbourne appeared to believe), but we've been enduring severe cuts since 2010. Six years, and it does not appear to have made much difference. I would suggest that logic dictates it's time to try something else. This is something George appeared unable to do.
