It seems that the Conservatives and supporters are still in pre-election mode!
Making grand claims of mission accomplished is not going to work. They must actually deliver on the economy, or else. After 10 years of "war" (austerity) the public will not forgive any failure.
And "the economy" is the spending money in people pockets, not facts 'n figures.

Hopefully Labour will stay in pre election mode. It worked well for them.
My God. How many more times do we have to do this.
The CBI predicting growth is not the same as there actually being growth. Shouldn't we wait until we get the actual figures in before we start celebrating?
Well we in the NHS have had 1% over three years care to explain why this is not even inflationary.?:o
The same reason why many people in the private sector haven't had an above inflation pay rise in the last few years.
The last few years have been tough but at least we didn't see the mass unemployment which was predicted by many back in 2008. Budgets have been squeezed but we didn't see the massive public sector cuts they Portugal, Greece and Spain had. We (and a millions of others) may not have a real terms pay rise in the last few years but at least we kept our jobs.

But when "official figures revealed...the slowest quarterly growth for two years" that's not overturned by "Research by the CBI suggests"
Don't worry.
The next election isn't until 2020
By then we'll have had another 5 years of increased prosperity
And with Labour still dithering on the sidelines there will be no opposition.
Growth and prosperity is assured.
Recovery is always slower than the decline, that is and always will be the case.
What the morons in charge need to get through there brick-hard heads is that a reserve must be built up before they start pee-ing money up the wall again.
We need a fiscal tank, a reserve, a black-hole full of cash that can be dipped into the next time this happens.
I don't blame Labour or Brown for the crash, that would be stupid, but I do blame Brown, and Brown only for not having a modicum of reserve tucked away, he spent too much and took no heed of future requirements.

But that "too much" spending has been increased by Osborne.

"Research by the CBI suggests" is not really a forecast.

Really? The public knows of this dastardly fiction? And yet they didn't vote to expose this lie with a resounding Labour majority?
And how is linking to a piece by the CBI on the BBC website (Two pillars of the establishment) "inflammatory"?
Well we in the NHS have had 1% over three years care to explain why this is not even inflationary.?:o
If the economy is doing so well.;-).
Because it is not fact but merely a prediction.

Why not? If it's good enough for governments, businesses etc. to build business models, loaded with forecasts - what's your problem?
If it's semantics, research always suggests. It's never categorical.
We? When was the last time you celebrated growth?
On jolworld which is near Blatterworld , a massive loss is better.
Yes Osborne did that in 2010.
Remind me how that worked out for him?
But when "official figures revealed...the slowest quarterly growth for two years" that's not overturned by "Research by the CBI suggests"
But interesting that these figures are different to other sources. Nothing shady there then!
Don't worry.

No you were not we all know what you were doing though

Thats not spending, thats repayment.
We haven't made any repayments, the debt is going up.
Repayment on debt.
Should we just ignore debt and spend again?
True, but now the Tories have a majority they can make all of the necessary cuts and significantly reduce the debt.
Should we ignore the debt and just not repay?
I think I said just the opposite, didn't I?
