Some get the fact that we’re heading for a deep crisis:

The UK faces a protracted economic slump unless authorities act quickly to stimulate the economy, an influential adviser to the Bank of England has warned, reports the FT. In an unusually explicit call, Adam Posen, an external member of the Bank’s monetary policy committee, rejected the IMF’s upbeat view of the UK economy,issued on Monday and called in a speech for more monetary easing.

And others do not. Kitty Ussher, former Labour Treasury minister is one, who has said writing in the FT this morning:

Mr Miliband said in his speech that Mr Darling’s approach is the “starting point for a responsible plan”. But that is no longer enough. The changed environment must now spur him to harden, not soften, that position. If the public are not to believe that the coalition is fixing Labour’s mess, then Labour needs to make it blindingly clear that it is economically competent in bad times as well as good.

Sorry Kitty, but you show exactly what Labour got wrong, why people did not vote Labour and why they won’t again unless they reject the economic incompetence you are promoting.

People don’t want to vote Labour to get the Tories again. Or Lib Dem to get the Tories again. They want a real alternative — one based on the fact that there are real, credible, deliverable, workable and desirable economic policies — which create jobs, prevent recession and enhance well being. And Labour did not offer that, the Tories aren’t now and nor are you.

Thankfully the Bank of England is likely to ignore Kitty Ussher.
