We don&#8217;t have a huge deficit now because Labour spent 13 years rebuilding our schools and hospitals. But we did have less room for manoeuvre than we would have liked. Because despite 10 years of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alexross.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6746624&amp;post=955&amp;subd=alexross&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
