"Austerity is over" would seem to contradict what Hammond was saying earlier in the week. Not sure it's going to go down well with the electorate either - "we could have just turned it off at any point" is the message it sends out.

given that the financial situation is pretty ropey, I guess it's partly getting their story straight for if Labour do come to power? "it was a long painful process, but we fixed the economy, then Labour ruined it again"?

When the ATOS PIP assessors come to the house on Friday for a face to face assessment with my partner with MS. I'm going to tell them: The Dancing Dead Cat says austerity is over, so assess accordingly motherfuckers!

Bit difficult to do that when there's no food on the shelves because the lorries are stuck at Calais.

How can I spot the difference between austerity and standard Tory economic policy?

It's like Nelson Muntz telling you you've stopped hitting yourself.

S Bush:" a weird hybrid of Ed Miliband and the Daily Mail’s comment section." so in other words austerity isn't over!

The booklets, handed out at a conference fringe meeting, reference "the Great Replacement" and the anti-Semitic conspiracy theory "cultural Marxism".

luckily for them, nobody gaf about good old-fashioned Conservative anti-Semitism.

Can we start a new thread? This is getting a pain to load on my crappy phone/internet connection/whatever. And our transatlantic friends get a new one every month. NOT FAIR!

'Further adventures of the dancing queen: Onward to Brexit and other mishaps'.

Dan Worsley, Thursday, 4 October 2018 08:46 (five years ago) link

I'm so angrily unbalanced rn I couldn't think of anything without using unpleasant murderous terms!

The BBC's political social media team tweeted 22 breezily upbeat times on the May speech yesterday to the single ho-hum its Corbyn talking again Kuenssberg tweet, last week. The end of austerity comes with a freeze on fuel duty and Local Authorities still not having the funding to meet their legal obligations to protect disabled/vulnerable people/children etc. Anyone talking up this End of Austerity as an actual thing needs shooting down immediately. If anything we are going into Peak Austerity and the the national rollout of UC next year is going be a real treat for aficionados of tinned foodbank goods!

calzino, Thursday, 4 October 2018 08:59 (five years ago) link

as Dawn Foster pointed out, Gideon has already declared austerity was over in 2015.

calzino, Thursday, 4 October 2018 09:08 (five years ago) link

I have no idea where you're getting those figures from, man - there's at least nine tweets on the BBC politics twitter with Corbyn's speech. And I'd expect there to be more coverage of May's - she's the one actually in charge, and as you say what she says kills people.
