So, sorry, I can’t get too enthusiastic about us having growth of something like 0:2 per cent at the moment, whereasGermany and the Eurozone are in recession.

UK residents are worse off than they were when we reached the FA Cup Final under Dave Jones, that’s disgraceful and, apart from less than two years at the start, the same party has been in Government throughout.
It's actually worse, not only are we saying that the average Brit gets paid in real terms the same (less if you remove min wage) than they did decades ago, priority bills have sky rocketed.

As for the idea that a .x% growth rate does anything for the average person in a country we know is getting more unequal by the day, well that's just desperation.
