Or, she knew the economy was in far worse condition than the Conservatives were admitting to and had made even worse by passing tax cuts that the economy could not afford in a desperate attempt to buy enough votes to not face being eclipsed by the LibDems.

All of which now need paying for and none of which was inflicted on Labours watch.
