David Blanchflower: The Chancellor received plenty of warning
26 April 2012 12:00 AM
That was a big surprise. Not! Yesterday's figures came as absolutely no surprise to many of us who have warned for months that a double-dip recession was coming. I warned on 24 June 2010 that George Osborne's austerity budget "kills recovery at birth". I argued that "I am now convinced that as a result of this reckless Budget the UK will suffer a double-dip recession". It isn't as if our part-time Chancellor Osborne wasn't told. But he ignored the warnings by Robert Skidelsky, Paul Krugman, Martin Wolf, Ed Balls and others and even accused us of being "deficit deniers". Keynes turned out to be right. The shadow Chancellor has been vindicated.
