exiges Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-11565369 Shadow chancellor Alan Johnson has accused the coalition of basing their timetable for spending cuts on the next election rather than on economics.Mr Johnson, setting out Labour's position ahead of Wednesday's Spending Review, said ministers would be taking a "huge gamble with growth and jobs". He said Labour would halve, rather than eradicate, the deficit by 2013/14. In his central London speech he said banks should contribute around £7.5bn to cutting the deficit by 2015. Timing policy to win elections.. now where I have seen that done before.. Is this also the same Alan Johnson who claims to know nothing about economics, famously claiming that he's going to get a book on the subject to swot up.
