“'the economic mess we inherited from the last labour government' - well is having growth being an economic mess? I have to ask, which was the case during the 2010 election when the economy was growing. More than 2 years down the line we are on borderline growth having just come out of a double dip recession and it looks like the economy is likely to have contracted in the last 3 months.”
