Knockback for Tories who are still trying to justify their rubbish budget
[Image: Daily Mirror.]
The following tweet was issued by the Conservative Party’s press office:
Our balanced approach means dealing with our debts to keep the economy strong, whilst investing in public services and keeping taxes low. pic.twitter.com/YFMYKFGMUH

“Dealing with our debts to keep the econom strong, whilst investing in public services and keeping taxes low” is, of course, Labour’s approach – although Jeremy Corbyn’s party would achieve this by vastly different methods; effective methods.
The Tories behind their press release thought they could fool people into believing that they’re doing the right thing, just because they say they are.
They thought wrong – and the reactions are hilariously disparaging.
See for yourself:
This reads as if they have put a series of phrases into a program and hit Return

You said that #austerity was needed to get rid of the #deficit created by the Financial crash, not the vulnernable or #Labour as you ideologically blamed. Now it's predicted to be 2031. You lied & failed yet still the cruelty continues. Shame on you.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Good one. …wait, you’re serious?

Total BS; borrowing is up, deficit elimination delayed by 16 years, and you're slashing taxes (thus tax revenue) during supposed austerity. You are making it increasingly impossible for the UK to have public services in the future.

Haravikk is referring to a policy that David Cameron stole from George W Bush. It’s called starving the beast and intentionally creates debt in order to provide an excuse to take funds away from public services.
Cool story but extreme poverty and starvation for children isn't really balanced.

You've trebled National Debt & "lost" over £500m. And for what? you've certainly not invested it in our interest (NHS, Education etc) so what do we have to show for it? You have bankrupted us fiscally as well as morally. #NoConfidence

Which public services are you actually investing in? I didn't realise Panama was a "public service", still you live and learn!
