Unite's reaction to the budget

Unite joint general secretary, Derek Simpson said:
"The starting whistle for the election has been blown and it's 1-0 to Labour. The last budget before the election shows leadership and responsibility during difficult times. Alistair Darling has focused on support for the young, growth, investment and jobs when Tory doom mongers who spend their time talking Britain down would rather slash and burn our public services and leave working families to sink or swim.
"The establishment of a green investment bank is welcome, it will support British manufacturing when the Tories don't even have an industrial policy."
