Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I know it's likely to be another session for long eulogies on his 'greatness' but what questions should he face tomorrow?

Do you sleep well of a night?

What did you want to be when you grew up?

Are you retiring to run a pig farm?

Actually, if he is asked if he's proud of himself I'd like to hear what he picks out.

"Why, Mr Prime minister, despite your promise to eradicate the UK's debt during your first tenure as pm (five years), your government has managed to somehow (despite the chancellor's austerity measures) increase said debt?.

That or what is your favourite cheese?.

The cheese question will have him sweating. No rhetoric will dig him out of that dairy hole.

You think he'll want to go French?

Oh absolutely, if only to show how European he is.

Would be nice to see him eating the stuff rather than spouting it.

To which he will reply that he never promised to reduce or eradicate debt... The cheese might stump him though...

Would the Prime Minister like to apologise now that he and his chums from school, have absolutely, bloody-well thoroughly fucked the country now?

Did you enjoy your Eton Mess, David?

"Wonder what Corbyn's eulogy to Cameron's premiership will be like"

It was gracious, polite and fitting from one leader to another.

You are right, he pledged to bring down or pay down debt by creating budget surplus. Instead we have a deficit higher than before and his balancing the books was to borrow 500 billion in five years. Something Labour didn't do in thirteen. To me that equals more debt than before.

You make the usual mistake of confusing deficit with debt. Every year we have a deficit the debt increases. When you decrease the deficit as Cameron did you only reduce the rate in increase of borrowing not the borrowing itself. But given the way the economy was run our costs of borrowing actually fell substantially (another debate). Hence the push for a 'balanced budget' as John Major basically left Tony Blair.

As to how much Labour borrowed?

The total borrowed was about £476 Billion. Gordon Brown ran a surplus for the first 3 years (a total of some £36 Billion) as he stuck to Major's spending plans. From 2001 borrowing increased year by year so that by 2010 he had borrowed that £476 Billion.

In 2009 / 10 the annual deficit was some £153 Billion. Last year it was about £72 Billion. That is more than half.

I hope this helps.
