This just works on the premise that if you buy more paint there will somehow be more things to paint!0

The guy who gets me is Chuka Umunna. Unsure how he became Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills. Unfit for purpose springs to mind. Sad reflection on the best people in politics I guess.
Thankfully that was most of DB's wheezings on the economy though he did make a couple more (useless) snipes.
Chuka is a muppet. He thinks the cut in the top rate of tax applies to folks earning over £1M.
And to think he's tipped as Britain's Obama

I'd love to ask DB or any of the big spenders, 'If the government borrowed and spent £100billion, by how much would that boost GDP?' I doubt any of them really know; and after much of it is spent on foreign imports, sent home by migrant workers, and wasted generally, I'd wager it's less than £100 billion.“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G.

Like most ministers they end up doing jobs in which they have little knowledge.Thankfully that was most of DB's wheezings on the economy though he did make a couple more (useless) snipes.

Perhaps that is the way the mandarins like it."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

he doesn't think that's where the top rate of tax applies. that's all just part of labour's strategy to convince people that the reduction in the top rate of tax is a tax cut which benefits millionaires by writing them all a "cheque for £40,000".
and him being tipped as britain's obama is just terribly lazy journalism frankly. "oh look, he's black and a man, let's call him 'britain's obama'". whatever.0 -

He's not a minister.0 -
Why does anyone sit through this unwatchable rubbish, unless they enjoy being party to the BBC's attempt to push leftist and Labour-supporting propaganda via the back door ?No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.
The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

He is allegedly one of Labour's rising stars, apparently widely tipped to become future leader of the Labour party.
He's about as bad as Ed Milliband.0 -

One of his main perceived rivals for the position is Rachel Reeves -- an equally uninspiring, if not frightening, thought.No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.

Never said he was.
He is making remarks on something that is not his specialty like most ministers."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....
