And left the economy in a better state than they found it. Don't forget, the Callaghan Government left us almost bankrupt. Just like the Blair/Brown Government that followed. Same old story. Same old Labour.

That's subjective, but also not the point you made the first time! You out and out blagged a lie that was demonstrably false and hoped nobody would call you on it.

It’s not fully costed and never has been. Saddling future generations with the national debt isn’t exactly fiscal responsibility, nor is selling the state assets to balance the books, neither is PFI. Blair/Brown just as complicit before anyone points that out.

If only the spell that Boris weaves over some of the UK population could be woven over Sterling. Maybe it just needs to believe more? Unpatriotic pesky currency!

Surely all Sterling needs is to "go the extra thousand miles", and the other currencies be more willing to negotiate?

Re: [Update 2] PM Boris forms a government
 

It just has to believe in itself.

No it isn’t, unless you can evidence labour left it in a better state?

Re: [Update 2] PM Boris forms a government
 

Was it in a better state in 2010 than 1997? GDP per capita would say so. However it almost always says that over the long term. Which is why it’s subjective, how people and communities experience it varies.

What can be tangibly proven is that Conservative governments have consistent run budget deficits despite selling the family silver, privatising profits and underwriting capitalist failure at taxpayers expense. Which is where we started this off.

Re: [Update 2] PM Boris forms a government
 

In both 1979 and 2010, the incoming Conservative (or Conservative-led) governments were told by Labour that there was no money left. Gordon Brown raided our pensions and sold off our gold reserves.

The Callaghan government succeeded only in running the country into the ground.

Says it all, really, no matter how you prefer to spin it.

Re: [Update 2] PM Boris forms a government
 

None of that detracts from your false claims that Conservative governments fully cost expenditure is 100% false.
