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.
