What is it about Labour?

Todays announcement that the economic growth for the last quarter is higher than originally forecast is welcome news. In fact at 1.2% it is the best quarterly growth for 9 years.
But Labour are of course claiming all of the credit. Now while Labour undoubtedly should receive some credit, so should the opposition for pushing home the necessary policies that are improving commercial confidence and establishing a better business environment.
Sadly Labour refuse to give any credit to the Coalition Government at all. Stange then is it not, that they also refuse to take any blame for the past 13 years and especially failure to adequately tackle the banking collapse.
Labour remains rooted in the tribal negative class politics of confrontation while the world has changed. They may not want the Coalition to succeed but they are going to have to accept that to “have their cake and eat it” is nigh on impossible in politics.
The fact of the matter is things are gradually getting better, albeit helped by austerity measures that nobody wants to introduce - FACT. Labour had contributed immensely to the mess the country’s finances were in - FACT.
We now have a Government for the first time in a generation is prepared to take the tough decisions necessary - FACT.
People aren’t fools.Times are hard, difficult decisions have had to be taken in the short term in order that in the long term we shall all benefit.
