They could have completely wrecked the economy Bob. You take low inflation, low unemploynent and relatively low taxes for granted. These are not god-given gifts that Labour are unable to take away. The economy is like a plate spinning delicately on a stick. You cannot expect to come along and give it a right good whack with idiotic Labour tax, spend and meddle plans, and for everything you take for granted to carry just fine.
The only Labour leader in living memory who has not fucked it up was Blair, and his policies were NOTHING like those of Corbyn or McDonnell who are set on making systemic, irreversible change. Have you any idea what that means and the possible impact?
We’re intending to give it a right good whack with Brexit so there’s that. You can’t talk about idiotic spending plans without talking about spending £39 billion to have more restrictive access to European markets or the billions spent on no deal prep after having negotiated not one but two withdrawal deals with the EU. I see no logic in maintaining the Tories are best for the country after the shambles of the years under Cameron and then May and now the ‘considered and calm’ stewardship of Johnson who anointed himself as ‘Minister for the Union’ and then three months later sold out NI whist crafting a template for other nations to follow in leaving our Union.
I’m no fan of Labour or Corbyn but dire warnings against adopting policies common in mainland Europe whilst in the middle of the current shitshow is not convincing. Are you seriously telling me that a Corbyn Govt with SNP (or whoever) support would have produced a worse outcome in the Brexit negotiations then we have to date? You reckon a Keir Starmer led team would have made a worse hash of it than Davis? You reckon Labour would have sold out our Union without the democratic consent of the country concerned?
Your entire case for the Tories seems to be predicated solely on your pant wetting terror of Labour. You are a prisoner of your own fear.
