The amount they have got the deficit down by is a LIE - they have reduced the deficit by 32 % not even one 1/3.
& don't be fooled by the average income or how much the economy has improved by per head either
What they never tell you is that these averages are made up by the huge amount of wealth the rich have at the top
It is the 60 % of wealth held in less than 1 % hands now I think
that makes the average income and amount figures look a LOT BETTER that the LYING CGANCELLOR uses for propaganda. -
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne sits down after delivering his Budget statement to the House of Commons
-
George Osborne was on his feet for 59 minutes, making this the longest Budget speech of this parliament - and of his career as chancellor.
Here's those figures again from previous Budgets
2010: 54 minutes
2011: 56 minutes
2012: 58 minutes
2013: 54 minutes
2014: 55 minutes

Mr Miliband said there would still be "extreme" cuts to public services in the next parliament.
He told MPs: "Their failure on the deficit means they are planning massive cuts in the next parliament, billions of pounds of cuts in the next parliament."
