So do you believe in budget deficits?
Shame on her for trying to make Labour trusted on the economy so they can get elected again.
What a terrible idea.
Fox-
I don't believe in 'cutting for growth'.
We saw in 2010-15 a supine PLP mutely gawp at every Tory speech to claim that 'Labour crashed the economy'. An unchallenged, repeated lie allowed lightweights like Kendall to believe being a pale imitation of the Tories would enhance Labour's prospects.
Austerity-lite was never a solution for overpriced housing or zhc minimum wage non-jobs.
It has never, (since WW2?), been cheaper the UK government to borrow.
Build HS3, Liverpool to Hull, to really connect the Northern Powerhouse,
invest for growth & jobs.

Anyone able to get an update from Liz Kendall on the Budget surplus she was supporting:
