Lord Lamont told ITV News…
“I think the PM is just human and Ed Balls is a pretty irritating person”





What an innumerate young lady.
Be fair. She is only saying what she has been told to say.
Nice to know that we have a competent woman in charge her rather than an incompetent man!
People expected unemployment to be 1.2 trillion then? She must have been taught maths by her husband. Or her boss. How depressing that these people are ruining, sorry running, the economy.
Very. Still only a few months to go!
I think she included the illegal aliens in that assessment.
Not just illegal aliens from other countries, but the illegal aliens from other worlds as well.
What is he on about i hear you say.
Haven’t you seen ‘Men in Black’
I’m still waiting for the men in white coats and the men in grey suits to evict Gordon…
Lol! 400k allowing for a few ‘manipulations’ of the figures here and there. Remember, when you’re in power the figures can be spun anyway you want them, and as we all know nu-labour think of themselves as the masters of spin.
Reality tells us the truth though and the people have their say on that in 6 months time!
I’ll bet she had her ‘little miss earnest’, furrowed brow look on her stupid face while she was spouting this nonsense.
Any nice simple round number like £400K looks like headline grabbing nonsense, except when it applies to Ed and Yvette’s expenses.
In which case billions are saved on unemployment benefits and the deficit comes tumbling down.
Oh dear maybe not.
Another leftist halfwit. Ah well, she’s always right so never mind.
You fools!
That’s a “seasonally adjusted” 400,000 times lower
No wonder that she lost her job at the Treasury
