I wasn't aware anyone had made you the forum police about when I can jump in or not, must have missed the emails alerts.

Only 8 billion shortfall? Oh that's ok then, the Tories can easily cover that with another 5 years of austerity after another disasterous Labour government then.

Well what is 8 billion,jumping in again you are to build up the Cons.
Where in fact they have just magically found 8 billion extra for the NHS.
Except they haven't said where it has come from or how it would be raised by them
Something that jumps out as to you ignoring that 8 billion figure conveniently.

I said if Labour's tax plans, fail,I stress if, then they may have an 8 billion shortfall.
Not certain at all and the tax change plans may even exceed expectations.

It doesn't mean even with a shortfall that Labour would need to further borrow that.
It may mean shelving something they planned to do for a period or borrow to fulfill it, as all govts do.

Before you dive in as to shelving plans,we were assured that 5 years of hard austerity would clear the deficit by 2015.
Due to failure and borrowing by the Cons,that was extended for the last 2 years,and now we are told austerity needs to be there another 5 years but bow instead of cleared by 2015, Mrs May states the deficit won't be gone now until 2025.

Ignore that all you like and blame Labour for everything but thankfully it seems others are now coming to see that big failure of twice extended austerity measures and blaming who is responsible, the Cons.
