At the BBC we've had a whole independent review which made it very clear we shouldn't use profoundly misleading household finance analogies for the public finances. But now the Labour front bench keeps doing it. And it's not the first time: theguardian.com/commentisfre…
Labour's Darren Jones states that his party is committed to austerity as the Tories 'have spent all the money and maxed out the country's credit card'

Justin Welby won't meet with a pastor from Bethlehem because he shared a platform with a democratically elected MP.
But he allegedly wanted Paula Vennells, former Post Office CEO, to become the Bishop of London.
