So the choice facing Osborne in 2010 was to stimulate pur economy by spending our way out of trouble using the ridiculously cheap money at that time, improving infrastructure and services ready for the next growth cycle, or cut everything to the bone with 14 years of Austerity.

Gundermann Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 THERE will be no Scottish Tory MPs in the House of Commons after the next General Election, according to a new poll. The SNP would also once again emerge as the largest party north of the Border, securing a majority of 40 seats, with Labour returning 13 and the LibDems four. The Daily Mirror poll, carried out by Find Out Now and Electoral Calculus, saw 18,000 voters surveyed across the UK over the last three weeks. The mega-poll will make grim reading for Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross, with his party set to be decimated north of the Border. READ MORE: SNP to heap fresh pressure on Labour as ceasefire vote confirmed We previously reported how First Minister Humza Yousaf launched the SNP's election campaign with a call to "make Scotland Tory-free". The Tories are also set for a crushing defeat across the rest of the UK, which could see the party under Rishi Sunak lose three-quarters of their seats. It would be the first time the Tories had not returned any MPs in Scotland since Tony Blair's New Labour landslide in 1997. The Daily Mirror poll projected the outcome of all 650 constituencies across the UK using the MRP (multi-level regression and post-stratification) method to predict individual seats. https://www.thenational.scot/news/24120572.poll-tories-wiped-scotland-next-general-election/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I'm struck by the MSM describing this as a "technical recession". There is nothing technical about it. The economy contracted over the last six months of 2023. Then there is that bastion of independence, the BBC, proclaiming this is the "mildest" start to a recession in 50 years. Mildest start to a recession in 50 years The economy has shrunk by a total of 0.5% over the last two quarters of 2023, triggering a technical recession. It’s the mildest start to a recession since at least the 1970s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll take credit for inflation dropping but it will be partly due to economic demand dragging price downwards as providers of goods and services compete for the scraps of demand that exist. Cause? Nobody has any money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
