Stop blaming the Torys it's embarrassing. Labour does not have the interests of its citizens at heart. Give all the money to foreign countries and immigrants, and go on to punish those who worked to give governments their money.

No one should ever take a single thing seriously from a person that uses the word 'Holibobs'
-
How about instead of scrapping winter fuel payments for pensioners born here, we remove benefits on everyone here illegally, send economic migrants home and start defending our borders?
-
Well the obvious next step is taxing the people who have gotten more wealthy by multiples over the last decade under the tories, but that isnt something your papers owners want to even put in the public mind as a viable option
-
Tories or Labour both will end up taking it out on the poorest and most vulnerable in society, while of course looking after their rich mates and likely enriching themselves off government contracts.

A black hole but labour and going spend billions billions more 😂
-
I wonder if £8 million pounds a day on illegal immigrants has anything to do with it ..and it was labour that opened the borders
-
Lockdown and immigrants and Ukraine.

Must be tough for the Torygraph to hear reality.

Yes, the Tories trashed the economy by locking down so hard during the pandemic. Labour would have gone harder.

Economy has been trashed for a while, pretty much since the GFC in 2007/08. They chose to kick the can into the long grass with QE. Also the covid spend: Absolutely biblical amounts of money, a lot of it for nought, a lot of it pilfered away by people with low morals. But definitely the straw that's brought all those long kicked chickens home to roost a bit sooner than anyone wanted. Labour won't do any better, none of the political class are capable in this regard. And besides, I wouldn't be surprised to find their hands completely bound between rocks and hard places. Someone, at some point is going to have to do something really unpopular. Its like a game of pass the parcel, but the parcel is a bomb with a dicky timer. Our economy isn't performant enough, we're a low productivity country and the state requires vast sums of money to barely stand still. There is no chance of moving forward whilst we build a hollow economy of deliveroo riders and amazon warehouse operatives whilst we let the very same businesses syphon the money out of the country.

Obr says labour knew.

Conservatives have the main challenge of making people believe them regarding immigration. 14 yrs of not tackling immigration will not be forgotten, and will be even more imperative after 4 yrs of Labour destroying the national population.

taking from our pensioners and giving to zelenski 👏👏👏
-
Yeah and…. We already know That they screwed everything up… probably went on May’s shoes and dresses lmao 🤣
-
The economy has been trashed since labour left and left with a note saying "best of luck there's nothing left" Successive governments have let the populace down. I say politicians should fear for their lives.

the telegraph is the tory rag following the daily mail, why bother with finding new leader for the tories, they are a bunch of crooks,
-
Best read the OBR letter, she had the smoking gun!

In the famous words of Mandy Rice Davies. And she never said in the first place.
