Wow. Sounds like Burnham is already running out of ideas.

When they can’t fix the big problems, they focus on the small ones.

    EU austerity

    Ah yes the EU, famously able to convince the UK to adopt the union's monetary system.

    Brits still delusionally blaming Europe for their own mistakes.

    Lol, maybe you should learn about EU austerity policies that were enforced, while we in the EU

    And while you're at it, learn the difference between monetary systems and budgets.

    Tool.

    Maybe you should present your own list of these imaginary policies. As they exist inside your head it would be pretty hard for me to learn about them otherwise. The UK were never subject to the Troika austerity policies.

    Or I guess you really believe you'll be seeing that £350 million any day now.

    Fucking Google it

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4952125/

    The actual policies were called Six-Pack, Two-Pack, and the 2012 Fiscal Compact (Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance),

    Nowhere in the paper you link does it imply that the EU imposed austerity policies on the UK.

    The Tories are the only ones responsible for the fiscal policies adopted after the recession.

    The EU imposed policy on all EU members. I've listed them, perhaps you should acknowledge that there were EU wide policies?

    What do you think happens when you put austerity measures in a single market, more or less economic activity?
