The Tories are extending their lead on the economy

Teflon Dave?

Love it! And there's me thinking he stuck to the EUSSR like **** to a blanket!

You just wont have it will you.It has little
to do with childish titles.The public think,
time after time, Cameron is a better bet when it comes to things that matter to us.
The hysterics shown by Labour,lurching from one credibility crisis to the next,is laughable, and the more you journo's let Ed get away with 'having his cake & eating it'
the more Cameron will be seen as a better bet, more steady, and more trusted.
Some of us might not like what Cameron is doing, but poll after poll show he's actually NOT that far off the right track. But what do we know eh?

He certainly looks like he's made of Teflon. Pink Teflon.

The public loved New Labour.
They lapped it up and our Tone won three elections in a row.
They bought in to the never ending rise in house prices and easy employment during a rock solid low inflationary environment.
We were told that things could only get better.
Well the country is one again in love with charming, plausible fantasy as David Cameron continues with the presentation and policies of New Labour and it seems that many people are just happy to have it back and to get on with things only getting better again.

The greatest private fraud of human history.

Who are the great fraudsters who are becoming the murderers of the human kind? How does the economy "illness" threaten Democracy and the freedom of people?

By knowing what happened in indebted Greece, where loan sharks created “bubbles” and the current inhuman debt, one can understand the inhuman plan in total ...understand where this plan started just to bring all states at the same end ...understand how this type of plans are established...

This just suggests that people think the the Tories are better than Labour, it doesn't mean they think the Tories are competent.

HMG supplies bad government, regardless of the jockey's colours.

What would Gideon Osborne - ex-Bullingdon Club member, and heir to the Osborne baronetcy of Ballentaylor in County Tipperary - know about the economy?

The Tories are no longer trying to conceal the truth. They are the open class enemy - the avowed opponents of the hard-working families that Gordon Brown gave his life to protect.

History teaches us that the inherent contradictions of capitalism contain the seeds for its own inevitable downfall, and the equally inevitable victory of the proletariat. History is on our side, as Obama's victory showed and as his healthcare reforms are demonstrating. Capitalism will soon be inevitably consigned to the ash-heap of obsolescence.

'Teflon Dave', ah yes! However, as much as you try to spin in this now means Dave does not stick by what he says. So yes after 20 months the voters can still remember who to blame for our economic problems. But the flip side to this is they will also remember all Dave's backsliding too when the election comes.

Presumably because this is around the time that Labour decided to announce they backed the need for cuts, just not these cuts.
So they hacked off their hardcore anti-cuts supporters without presumably winning over anyone who does realise cuts are nescessary.

Fabian Solutions. Gotta be a pisstake, surely?

Fabian solutions:"...that Gordon Brown gave his life to protect". If only he really had....

AndyinBrum

You mean Gordon Brown who through his tri-partate regulation system, massive increase in public spending, removal of the 10p tax bracket, welfare and benefit dependency, craven cowardice and inability to play nice with the other children, was one of the main reasons we're in this shitstorm?

Yeah, you're credible

Fabian Solutions

Can't you bring yourself to stop the partisan, tribal hatred for a few minutes and thank a public servant - a former Prime Minister, no less - for the services he has rendered to his country?

A most amusing wind up, I enjoyed it immensely

Fergus Pickering

Good Heavens, Fabian Solutions, did you write that all by yourself? And Gordon Brown gave his life? Is he dead then? When did this happen? Assassinated by a bigot, was he? Or by our Tone? Let's toss another starving prole on the fire, and celebrate.

Fabian Solutions

You dare to write "Can't you bring yourself to stop the partisan, tribal hatred for a few minutes"!

You first post on this thread is just that. Surely your posts here are intended as satire?

- Thus Fabian Solutions on a serving Chancellor of the Exchequer, no less: " What would Gideon Osborne - ex-Bullingdon Club member, and heir to the Osborne baronetcy of Ballentaylor in County Tipperary - know about the economy? The Tories are no longer trying to conceal the truth. They are the open class enemy…"

- Thus Fabian Solutions to his critics: "Can't you bring yourself to stop the partisan, tribal hatred for a few minutes and thank a public servant - a former Prime Minister, no less…?"

Tribal enemies… OK - different from class enemies, obviously. In Fabianspeak, anyway. Must be, because otherwise this would be rank hypocrisy, wouldn't it?

What? Ah, OK. For a minute there, I thought s/he was serious. As you were.

Imagine how it will look when the economy actually turns around.

tom jones

We're NOT good at running the economy though - borrowing up, GDP down. Our only positive is luck! We're the best of a bad bunch with Labour being totally wrong and us being a little less wrong.

Halcyondaze

As a former Conservative voter - former because I saw through Cameron from the very beginning - all I can say is that either the British public are very, very stupid in falling for the lies and flannel doled out by this all-things-to-all-people PR man - or people can see right through him and he and the rest of the smug little left-wing careerists now running the Conservative Party are in for the shock of their privileged little lives at the next election.

I hate Labour with a passion but it's only because they're a transparent bunch of anti-British Marxist hypocrites led by a snotty schoolboy that they're not wiping the floor with this bunch of twits.

Chris lancashire

The polls merely reflect the fact that Cameron and Osborne are generally doing a good job. It's just amazing that 20 odd percent still think Labour can be trusted with the economy.

daniel maris

Do you actually have a pom-pom in one hand while you tap on the keyboard with the other?

Labour will not live their mistakes down for another 10 years, that's how long this misery will last. Memories last. Thatcher's memory is still active with many working class people who suffered under her. We all know that different parties have different policies and they bring joy and hate for many people. At the moment, Cameron is the only credible man to lead this country, and they've proved it so far. Miliband is like a school boy from the sixth form, he just does not get it. As no charisma and as no clout. I hope he remains where he is for all our sakes, that means Labour won't get into government for ages. Cameron did well in Brussels, he played it by the rules and waited. Yes, they can now use the institutions for the new treaty, but we are not in it and that's the main cue for this country.

Cynic

"It looks like Dave’s still made of Teflon." The alternative being ....? Anyone who, after 13 years of evidence to the contrary, thinks Labour is credible on the economy wants their head examined!

English Radical

I think we've got to assume that Fabian Solutions is actually old Gordon himself, blogging from his padded cell.
