Osborne’s timely reminders

George Osborne has said of the June 2010 public borrowing figures, which have come in above analysts’ expectations: “The public finances numbers today remind us why we need to get on top of the budget deficit”.

Which is entirely consistent from the Chancellor because last month when the borrowing figures for May 2010 came in below analysts’ expectations he said: “The public finances numbers today remind us why we do not need to get on top of the budget deficit”.

He did say that didn’t he?
