We don't need a degree in mathematics to do this; its simple maths we learnt at school but something the right wing tabloids don't want to remind us about. We don't need some magic money tree because the simple truth is, If we increase spending, (something the Tories can't do because they are constantly driving down productivity) we generate more tax, the government gets a return on its spending, we get more employment opportunities and can afford all the things that are being promised by the Labour party.

My frustration is; this is simple economics and the Tory's have the audacity to make it all look like a pipe dream.

I think they gave up on that model of economics decades ago, the method now is subservience, keep the masses poor, in debt, demoralised, scared, under educated and misinformed.
