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.

I think this is exactly what the Tories are going to do.
They like winning elections and now austerity is not going to be a win votes so that policy will be dumped. -

Neither do I. Neither does Liz Kendall, as far as I know?
I don't really understand why it's so contentious that the country should preferably not be running a massive overdraft in normal times. Surely that's clearly preferable?

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.
