There is nothing to indicate that this is a result of coalition policy. The Labour party's own leader said that the cuts had not yet started as of December 2010. There is nothing interesting to see here beyond political opportunism which you appear determined to bring onto this forum as well.
Unsure what you're talking about referring to 'the right'. Political opportunism is political opportunism, end of discussion. That you're trying to get one over on 'the right' by engaging in the exact same behaviour is entirely your prerogative.

Nope, don't ever remember complaining about that.
VAT and the fuel duty has already happened, albeit since January. It cannot be denied that the has not influenced how people plan their financial future.
What cannot also be denied, is that when the economy was doing better before the election, it wasn't good, but now when the economy is doing poorly, it is not a bad thing.
Seems a bit upside-down, don't you think?

But then consumer spending has not even been included in the current figures. So, Osborne's bleating about the weather was a bit of a red herring.
