Recession will have Tory fingerprints all over it
The cruel and incompetent Tory government has shown that is is totally unfit to run the economy, according to the Scottish Greens. They warn that if the Bank of England’s recession warnings are true then it will be a recession made in Downing Street and with Tory fingerprints all over it.
The Scottish Greens economy spokesperson, Maggie Chapman MSP said:
"This winter we are facing the worst cost crisis for generations. There may be global challenges, but the cruel and incompetent Tories have made the situation many times worse. Time and again they have proven that they are unfit to run the economy and unfit to govern. From beginning to end this is a crisis of their very own making.
“Even by their own chosen barometer of success, GDP and growth, they are failing very badly. If the recession warnings prove to be true then it will be a recession made in Downing Street and with Tory fingerprints all over it.
"Rather than protecting people and services they have chosen to hammer ordinary households and families with sky high bills, soaring costs and a totally reckless Brexit while protecting their wealthy friends.
"Things can't go on like this. It is totally unsustainable and people will die.
"Next week's budget will only make things worse, with the Chancellor having already made clear that cuts and 2010-style austerity will be at its heart.
“It doesn't need to be like this. It is the cost of a disgraceful and reactionary Tory government that Scotland has consistently opposed. It is more vital than ever that we take our future into our own hands and ensure that we only get the governments that we vote for.”
