Alistair Darling’s ‘borrow and spend’ Budget which unfolded this week was full of false ideas, false intentions and false calculations. A politically motivated budget is not quite what the country needs as the British economy experiences the worst recession since the Second World War. Despite what the Budget may have you think, Britain’s top earners are not the only one’s who have to pay the price of Labour’s mishandling of the economy and irresponsible borrowing- it will hit the many! In fact, every new born will inherit a fair share of this government’s mismanagement.

So having finally agreed that the economy is in shambles, largely thanks to Labour’s ill-informed economic policy, one would hope that business and enterprise would finally begin to be encouraged, but no, instead, the Budget has enraged key business leaders across the West Midlands. Despite the fact that 8.4 per cent of the workforce in the West Midlands region is unemployed- this is the worst unemployment figure in the country- Mr Darling decided that Leeds and Manchester, both Labour-run Councils are more deserving of the City Region status. In his decision, Mr Darling agreed that plans to create 44,000 jobs in the region as an immediate impact of the City region status, were not as important as party politics. Ultimately, the West Midland’s population have been ‘Punished…for not voting Labour’.
