Would someone remind me again how wasteful government spending supports the economy rather than weighing it down?

Is it just me, or does that link work? Takes me straight to a ‘Labour chaos on cuts’ page.

Ah well, all publicity is good publicity.

Sorry, most of the 247 ‘views’ were prob me, will they cost them £123.50p? Only another few million to go . . .

Btw I am concerned about safety in young George’s office. Those trailing wires must be a hazard to anyone whose contribution to the Tories’ confusion over their ass and elbow self evidently is . . . erm . . unhelpful.

Now they have something called Mandelson Spin Backfires.

Can spin backfire? I though only cars did that.

Same stuff as before I suspect:

Treasury Ministers say there will be “extremely painful” cuts under Labour, but Gordon Brown says spending will carry on rising.

Treasury figures already imply 17% cuts in non-protected departments under Labour, but Gordon Brown keeps adding new protected areas without saying where the money is coming from.

The National Audit Office say that Labour’s defence plans are already “unaffordable”, and Bob Ainsworth has announced defence cuts, but today Gordon Brown is promising more spending on defence. If Labour are now protecting defence spending then cuts in other departments will be more than 20%.

Ed Balls says education spending will carry on rising, but Alistair Darling claims he has only protected “front line” schools spending.

Peter Mandelson says you can’t make cuts this year but is cutting more than £300 million from his own Department this year.

Alistair Darling and Gordon Brown disagree over what to do if growth is stronger than expected – Darling says he wants to cut the deficit but Brown says he wants more spending.

Amazing. Some of this is even true.

You should encourage as many people as possible to click the link. As every time someone clicks on the link the Tory party have to pay Google. That is unless the connections they have with Google allow them free advertising.
