Given the days-long attacks on Labour and the Chancellor over the economy, I think it's important to post again the news we've had this week that the economy has grown, the cost of borrowing has fallen and inflation has dropped, boosting hopes of interest rates cuts.

It really is difficult to fully comprehend the shamelessness of MPs who did nothing on an issue for 14 long years when their party was in government only to express moral outrage on that same issue months into a new government. These people are everything that’s wrong with our politics.
