There was plenty of strong growth under the previous labour government, the uK waa only in recession when the rest of the world was from 2008 to 2009, and from quarter 2 2009 to General election 2010 there was 5 quarters of strong growth again. The UK was not in recession when Cameron replaced Brown as PM, only those 5 quarters from quarter 1 2008 to quarter 1 2009 out of 52 quarters of the previous labour government.

The 0.4% growth is not coming from an arlready strong position but a very weak position, and the vast majoruty of the people are not feeling as though there's strong growth right now, and it was only a rkch man's economy under the tories because the tories only ever govern for the rich.
