Tory MP opens 8 part series on economic growth with factual mistake in first sentence
Sometimes you have to admire the Tories for their steadfast refusal to do facts.
This morning, the Tory MP for Dover opens what I’m sure will be a wonderfully reality-free excursion from 8 of his colleagues on how to “turbo-charge” the economy.
The opening sentence for this grand exercise is:
In May 2010 the coalition Government came to office with the public finances shot through and the country in bleak recession.
He’s clearly not too concerned with the fact that in May 2010 was in its third post-recession quarter, and that the 1.1.% growth in that quarter is at least 0.5% greater than any growth since achieved under the Tories.

Surely no surprise? Tory MPs rarely selected for their ability to understand reality but for their polished mendacity
Heh.
