Simpliified:

Economy tanks. Therefore less tax revenue and more benefits to pay out to those not working.

That doesn't mean that the government does not cut spending elsewhere eg defence, councils, infrastructure, etc.

And over time the deficit would dramatically reduced as the economy recovered, without "austerity" being required. It took 8 years before it was brought down to pre-crash
levels. Labour still added over 250bn to the debt BEFORE the crash when the economy was supposedly doing well.

Not sure what you mean - that there wasn't austerity?

The accusation was made that the deficit was solely the result of the crash. If that was the case then as the economy recovered, the deficit would've quickly dropped without austerity being involved. It didn't, even with austerity, therefore a sizeable chunk of the deficit was purely down to Labour overspending.

The economy didn't quickly recover and has never enjoyed the same level of growth post the Global Financial Crisis. That's been at the heart of the British problem ever since: low growth and low productivity.
