For anyone yet to be convinced that this is a fag-end government, Baroness Vadera's comments today that she believes she can see "green shoots of economic growth" should provide food for thought. Baroness Vadera may not be a household name, but she's a Business minister and one of Gordon Brown's most important economic advisers - so it's worrying if, on a day when yet more job losses are announced, she's either so out of touch as to think things are on the mend, or so addicted to spin as to pretend they are.
Still, it's a bit rich for the Tories to feign outrage at the Baroness's comments, given that the last politician to detect the "green shoots of economic spring", way back in 1991, was their Chancellor Norman Lamont - the last Chancellor to preside over a recession in Britain.
