Public spending, lies and a party that is now beneath contempt

Daily Mail
"We all know that whichever party wins will have to impose huge spending cuts or tax increases - or both - if we're to begin to pay off the terrifying debts piling up for our children. Yet the Prime Minister remains determined to go on peddling the lie that cuts are unnecessary.The outrageous decision to postpone the autumn review insults our intelligence - and makes a mockery of the election. ...For a decade, New Labour condemned as 'racist' the Mail and anyone else who dared suggest that asylum seekers and other migrants were jumping the housing queue.Yet here is the Prime Minister, in the death-throes of New Labour, finally saying he will reverse this (while characteristically failing to specify how).This is the politics of desperation. The sad truth is that this Government has abandoned any attempt to lay the facts before the voters, retreating into a surreal world of secrecy and lies."
