Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 March 2010. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation.
Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation
Was that it? [Hon. Members: "Oh, come on!"] Was that it? In those 26 minutes there was plenty of sneering and plenty of posturing, but I did not hear about a single policy to get the economy growing, or a single serious policy to bring the deficit down once the economy is growing. There were no plans to help the unemployed, and no plans to support business—and this from the man who wants to be Chancellor of the Exchequer in less than two months' time? It would be funny if it were not so terrifying.
