It's Labour tax and spend. We didn't notice because the economy was good for 10 years (bequeathed to Mr Brown from Mssers Major & Clark).
However. when the S**t met the fan he has no money saved to help out. We have war on two fronts, we've (as usual) ploughed billions into the NHS unchecked. and everything else they've miscalculated.
If they'd been prudent during the good times we'd have some money in the kitty to reduce the tax of fuel -but the cupboard is bare.
I predict two more years of spending & borrowing to try and win votes, a Tory victory, realisation the economy is in the sh***r, hard choices to me made by the Tories to get the economy back shape, everybody blaming the Tories for the current situation when it was Labour who royally screwed it up.
Sound familiar anyone over 38?????????????

I'm certain Brown will want to stay but he may not have a choice. Let's face it Milliband's recent statements when asked to endorse Brown as leader were rather less than fulsome weren't they. New Labour MP's have a choice - dither like their 'leader' for another 2 years and lose the next election or get shot of Brown asap and pray that his successor changes their fortunes. I think the latter option is the more likely right now.
