Katy loses patience with the Chancellor

Our hard-working MP, Katy Clark, had a moment of exasperation last week, and declared that George Osborne ‘is in denial.’ She continued, ‘Since 2010, time and time again we have seen that the austerity measures of this Government are just not working. …The Government’s fiscal policy is in ruins and the IMF is telling the UK Chancellor to rethink and slow down. Borrowing is now set to be £245 billion more than planned. Now that even the IMF is calling for a change in economic strategy, I urge the Chancellor to devise a plan B without any further delay.’

Don’t hold your breath – but all the best to Katy for a good try.
