They forecast a highball figure, an 8% increase in spending, they then increase spending by 6%, and then claim they cut spending or spending growth by 2% (or 25%).
It wouldn't think that it can only be rising. Might a small deficit not be offset by inflation? But yes, it would only add to the debt.
Is labour a party of statistical angels then?
No Labour are just as bad, they're all friends with the Rupert Murdoch brigade and therefore they're all wankers!
