What price austerity now?
I hate to make a party political point (he lied) but recent news articles tell us that not only has GDP been above pre-crisis levels since 2013, but GDP per capita has also just returned to those levels too, which is more important. The point is that the austerity-hating Scottish National Party managed to oust Danny Alexander, in May, even though he had been one of the leading architects of the strategy which put the entire country back on track.
