    So you think that Labour's massive increase in the use of PFI/PPP during the Blair/Brown years was to help their donors and mates rather than due to an internal rule about not exceeding a 40% debt ceiling?

    That stupidity cost the country about £240billion, which is the difference in what we will pay private institutions to have initially funded building public infrastructure projects and what the projects actually would have cost to build.

    Every government makes stupid financial decisions and often its more to appeal to the electorate rather than line their pockets. Elements of the last government clearly put more emphasis on the latter.

    The last government is what my point was directed at.

    Yes the Labour government ****ed to financially but at least that was out of what was best for the British public (in their opinion)

    The economy has gotten worse and was getting worse even before Covid, Ukraine, etc. This is a convenient Tory excuse.

    The cost of living, migration crisis etc have all been exacerbated by the Tory Party, the absolute ****show of government held together by the civil service was directly the fault of the Tory party.

    The Tories have had two shocking runs of government, first the absolute disaster of the Major government now the past 14 years of stagnation and then decline.

    Yet people on here and in the wider public, reckon that they're the best to vote for still.

    Cos the British public are bred to be peasants.
