Further, the economy is not shrinking. It is growing. It is growing more slowly than forecast, but it is still growing.
But if listening to Ed Milliband huffing and puffing gives you a warm feeling inside, I don't suppose I can blame you for taking his soundbites and rhetoric at face value.

Growing?????
Take your head out of your backside please.
In case you hadn't noticed they desperately want to get rid of the minimum wage something which has bougt stability to many who were paid peanuts when the Tories were last in power.. They are pushing through not 1 but 3 private members bills to do it.
The first is the Employment Opportunities Bill, that would allow ‘opt-outs’ of the Minimum Wage, though anyone who has worked for an agency will know there will certainly be situations where if you want to sign up for an agency to get work part of the contract would include an opt-out of the Minimum Wage.
The second bill is the one that’s just been chopped, a Minimum Wage Amendment Bill, that would force the Low Pay Commission to look at areas with above-average unemployment rates and automatically set the Minimum Wage at a lower rate, which the Government would be obliged to enact.
The third bill is the Training Wage Bill, which will again allow opt-outs of the Minimum Wage for people who are training.
Same Old Tories - Same Old Deceit
Its hurting but it isn't working.
