There was no recession on the day of the 2010 Election, as there had been none for years when the polls opened in 1997. Likewise, no one down the Dog and Duck gives a dog or duck about your growth figures or your IMF forecasts. They do not believe you, and they never will.
Nor are they the only ones. According to Wes Streeting, whom you have always wanted to be Prime Minister eventually, Brexit, which you have always opposed, has been "a catastrophic mistake" that has "left us less wealthy, less powerful and less in control than at any point before the Industrial Revolution". Yes, he really did say that. And he is planning to make a resignation statement to the House of Commons. So which is it? Is Britain going gangbusters under Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves? Or are we poorer than ever before?
