    Miliband talking about a slide in living standards and his shadow attorney general talking about the conservatives doing "long term damage" to the economy.

    The gall of these folks is quite shameless!

    Well there has been a slide in living standards under this government - surely you are not disputing that? Can't dispute the fact that they probably have done long term damage to the economy either

    So where is your problem.

    You mean just like there was a serious downturn under pretty much every govt in Europe in 2008?
