Wow, what a silly comment. Enough people have already rebutted this nonsense so I don't need to, but it just shocks me to find such uninformed takes on a forum with these demographics.

Also, this isn't just the left, it's practically anyone with a brain. Any conservatives from David Cameron's administration (not far right ideologues) are horrified by this, as are most of the current MP's who overwhelmingly wanted Rishi Sunak, who is also horrified by this...

Funny - I thought the Cameron government was extremely ideological. Osborne wasn't thick, he must have realised the damage that austerity would do in a recession. Debt was extremely manageable going into the 08 recession. Interest rates were nearly zero.

I always viewed it as a cynical way to weaken labour.
