Thanks Kizzy, this is an interesting link
James Cleverly, a Conservative MP, says the wording of the charter has not changed in the last two weeks. What changed? Had McDonnell not read the charter two weeks ago?
McDonnell says, before an MP intervenes in a debate, it is best to have listened to it first, so that one can be sure one is adding something to the sum of human knowledge.
Jacob Rees-Mogg, a Conservative, says McDonnell says he wants to eliminate the deficit. But he opposes all cuts. So how could that happen?
McDonnell says he will get to that in his speech. (I'm so looking forward to this!)
He then went on to say: The Tories have persuaded the public that the crash was caused by Labour spending. That has been one of the most successful attempts to rewrite history in recent times.
He will correct that tonight. The Tories backed Labour spending until Northern Rock. And it was not hiring doctors and nurses that caused the crash. The deficit was not the cause of the crash. It was the consequence of it.
Lets get the fireworks out!!
