Eagle: Wrong choices being made on the economy

Labour’s shadow chief secretary to the Treasury Angela Eagle comments on the GfK NOP consumer confidence index:

“David Cameron and George Osborne complacently boasted last month that the economy was recovering and Britain was out of the danger zone.

“But in the real world it’s becoming increasingly clear that the Conservative-led government is making the wrong choices on the economy.

“Cutting too deep, too fast is not the best way to get the deficit down, and it is simply not credible to insist that there is no alternative.

“George Osborne must stop burying his head in the sand, take another look at the facts and get himself a plan B. We need to put jobs and growth first to get the economy moving again. That’s the best way to get the deficit down.”
