I do think it's amusing to see the current Government point to the global economy as a reason for a lack of growth/recession when they didn't seem to accept that excuse whilst in opposition. That said it's equally amusing to see Labour now say that they government can't use that excuse when they were doing so three years ago.
Both parties seem to have switched viewpoints when they switched benches.
However he is sort of right. If Labour can be blamed for the recession that occurred during a global economic crisis then the Conservatives can be blamed for a recession in a Euro-wide crisis. They can't sudden claim to have understood that all these economies are interconnected and the power of one Government alone is limited in such matters.
