Yvette Cooper: Cameron would do nothing to boost the economy right now

Yvette Cooper MP, Labour’s Chief Secretary to the Treasury, responding to David Cameron’s speech at the London School of Economics today, said:

“David Cameron has confirmed the Conservatives would do nothing to boost the economy right now.

“The Tories would turn their backs on families and businesses just when they need real help to get through tough times.

“David Cameron has shown he would let recession last longer and run deeper, just as Margaret Thatcher did in the eighties, costing us all more in the long run.

“Either Cameron doesn’t understand the global economic problems we face or he doesn’t care.”
