| Quote: “Yes – there’s good news here and right across the UK. That’s because we have a national economic plan that backs business and skills, and is delivering growth, high employment, and rising wages,” the chancellor is expected to add. “But as we start 2016, I worry about a creeping complacency in the national debate about our economy. A sense that the hard work at home is complete and that we’re immune from the risks abroad.” | |

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.
