  1. Till the next 5 years the Tories are gone for good there's no chance of a 2029 comeback if at all

  3. Over 50% voted left of centre and if you look at Councillors and Mayors it's been a pretty overwhelming mandate these last couple of years

  4. New renewable is the cheapest on the grid, staying with fossil has been calculated to cost double a renewable grid.

  6. The Tories conserved nothing. A decade and a half of asset stripping ever lower wages and economic decline, a record utterly damning topped off by Truss wiping 425 billion of the value of pensions and Sunak trying to bribe the electorate with a totaly unfunded 20 billion cut to NI with a scorched earth strategy as the door hit his ar5e on the way out.

  8. Blair and Brown were the last time we had economic growth and working services The countries decline is down to Thatcherism and never ending asset stripping by the Tories.

  10. So Osborne comes in and institutes failed trickle down policy after failed trickle down policy, shrinks the economy and with Cameron allows unchecked migration into the gig economy then blaming the EU and migration and its labours fault? What planet are you on? Migration has quadrupled since brexit and all because of failed con policies

  14. When your that sh1t anything is possible 2029 will see the Con vote go even lower it only held up by what was the most toxic fantasy dystopia campaign of what a Labour win would be. As that evaporates as things slowly get better then they'll split

  16.  @drew699  PFI was a Major initiative and Brown fell for it it was finnaly put out of it's misery in 2018, GDP growth during Thatcher Major was the result of asset stripping and oil money as well as inflation in terms of real growth it was way worse than Blair / Brown who oversaw the best economic figures this country has ever seen. 2.3% average growth and +25% wage Growth. Since 2010 the economy has shrunk in real terms and wages have fallen. That's 14 years of abject failure

  17.  @drew699  Key metrics fro the Thatcher era Unemployment: Rose in the UK from 5.4% to 6.4% Poverty: Rose in the UK from 13.4% to 22.2% Crime rose ahead of population growth Wealth inequality increased in 1979, 13.4% of the population lived below 60% of median incomes before housing costs. By 1990, it had gone up to 22.2% And the reason the last 14 years has been such a failure nothing left to sell off

  18.  @drew699  quote from an economic historian she failed – and spectacularly so – to invest in Britain’s post-Thatcherite future. As capital spending plummeted, our national infrastructure was left to rot. Public services in particular were starved of resources. Most seriously her governments did little to help find future employment for those industries deemed beyond the pale of the Thatcher revolution. But nothing better illustrates her failure to invest in Britain’s long term future than her mishandling of the giant windfall she was gifted on entering Number 10 from booming North Sea oil revenues.

  19.  @chuggermagic  since when? Cameron cut funding to local authorities by 40% is responsible for the current care crisis and his abandoning Labour's so called green crap will cost bill payers an extra 100 billion extra.
