Does any of that sound legit to you? The high employment and rising wages are especially laughable, when it's backed up by ridiculously massaged figures inclusive of zero hour contracts and the tax credits that snake tried to kill off. And who honestly believes we've had a national debate about the economy? Or that anyone thinks 'I'm alright, Jack'?

My gut instinct is Corbyn rather frightens him and he needs to get ahead of it.

My gut instinct is with the rumours of interest rate rises due quite soon, his housing inflation & consumer credit based economic bubble is about to spectacularly go pop and he's getting his excuses in early.

It's odd that when the figures are good it's because 'the long term economic plan' is working, when the figures are bad it's always an external factor that can't be controlled. Doesn't the long term economic plan allow for the fact the economy is cyclical George? And if not, it's not very long term is it?
