  1/ I am not a spokesman for the Conservative Party and I do not hesitate to criticise George Osborne when I consider it appropriate.
  2/ It is the independent bank of England who determine monetary policy and decide on the ill-considered QE experiment.
  3/ Of course debt has increased because the UK economy was placed in an appalling situation by Gordon Brown when the downturn started in 2007 and then he did nothing about it between then and when he left office except spend more and make the situation even worse. Even I could not see how his massive deficit could be closed instantly on the new government coming to office and it had to be done over a period.
  4/ There is no choice but to make the cuts but they have not been deep enough to meet the 2015 deadline and to also do enough to relieve the burden on business. More action is needed to cut public spending and cut the more damaging taxes.
  
  Government is the problem, too much of it. We need less government, fewer rules, less red tape, less interference, lower taxes and for it to keep its busybody nose out of our lives.
