Osborne: We've saved the economy and proved Labour wrong - Telegraph

Please tell me its April 1st and this is some sort of joke?

Only 2 reasons economy looks better. QE and the help to buy policy. Our export position is not getting any better. Still way too much red tape for our industries to compete.

Gggrrrrr

I don't get this when on the same day we have UK trade deficit doubles in July to £3.1bn

As it turns out "Scots economic recovery 'quickening'" only one area of UK has growth quickening.

I'm of the opinion had they remained in power we'd have had a proper crash by now. We've not yet had one. Instead we're keeping a corpse on life-support. That's not a recovery.

Don't forget that HMRC sold ALL of their buildings to a management shell company working out of the Grand Caymans. They now pay rent to an aggressive tax dodge

The corpse is alive

UK, US and Japan will have the strongest growth this year.

TBH Business has never been better for me than during the so-called recession - obviously the life-sciences industry in the UK is in rude health.

UK, US and Japan will have the strongest growth this year.

And they'll also have the most debt.

And they'll also have the most debt.

Not when it's inflated away, as is no doubt Carney's plan, by keeping interest rates low.

Who cares as long as I'm making money?

It might be an Alice in Wongaland recovery, but my house is hiring a new butler next week.

There's money to be made on the way up and on the way down.
