We had to sort out the imbalance in the economy before we sunk under the weight of debt Labour left us in 2010.
Inflation at its current level is due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Is that our government’s fault?
The NHS was in a mess when the last Labour government was in power, and it’s been made worse by the unsustainable immigration that came about as the result of free movement while in the EU and Tony Blair’s multi-cultural drive. The aging population hasn’t helped either.
Are you one of these people who blames everything that goes wrong in your house on your wife? When things go wrong, you really can’t keep blaming this on the same person or your favourite figures of hate, just because you find them easy targets.

Covid hasn't been happening for 12 years. National debt has increased EVERY year since 2010.

The Govt had an pandemic exercise a few years ago so we would be prepared. They chose to ignore the recommendations.
The NHS has a staffing crisis and has been underfunded for over a decade. Staff turnover is horrendous.
Are you one of these people who feel the Govt can never be held responsible for anything ? If they aren't responsible for anything whats the point of them ?
Quite frankly it's hard to see how Labour could do any worse. (and I've never voted for them).
