"Osborne has in effect guaranteed that these policies will merely pave the way for a return to traditional Tory politics," said the Liberal Democrat Shadow Chancellor.
Commenting on George Osborne’s address to Tory party conference, Vince Cable said:
“This set of deficit reduction proposals is Lib Dem Lite.
“The sum total amounts to nothing more than a drop in the ocean and will not deal with the structural deficit.
“What is more, Osborne has in effect guaranteed that these policies will merely pave the way for a return to traditional Tory politics - hitting the public sector now to pay for tax cuts for millionaires later.
“Only the Liberal Democrats have made a commitment to bringing public spending under control whilst making taxes fairer across the board.”
