Cooper: Tory policy of inaction on the economy is isolated and incoherent
Yvette Cooper MP, Labour’s Chief Secretary to the Treasury, responding to David Cameron’s speech on Tory spending plans, said:
“There is a clear choice for the British people.
“Labour’s approach will give real help now for families and businesses to help Britain come through these difficult times stronger and sooner; the Conservatives won’t act to support the economy when it needs it and won’t help families and businesses right now.
“Unlike the Conservatives, we refuse to abandon people in tough times. Instead of a shot in the arm the Tories would give the British economy a slap in the face.
“The Tory policy of inaction is isolated and incoherent. They are now virtually alone in opposing an urgent boost to the economy and they have been forced yet again to change their plans from one day to the next.
“Ever since the banking crisis hit Britain, David Cameron and George Osborne have been out of their depth and today once again their judgement has been wrong.”
