Ed Miliband said at the Labour Party manifesto launch yesterday that:
“It was the financial crisis that caused the deficit…”
Really? Look at the graph at the top of this piece.
Was it the financial crisis that caused the deficit that Labour ran in 2002/3?
Was it the financial crisis that caused the deficit that Labour grew in 2003/4?
Was it the financial crisis that caused the deficit that Labour grew in 2004/5?
Was it the financial crisis that caused the deficit that Labour grew in 2005/6?
Was it the financial crisis that caused the deficit that Labour ran in 2006/7?
Was it the financial crisis that caused the deficit that Labour ran in 2007/8?

Questions that you won't see or hear posed on the pro-Labour BBC.
