If Sunak had won there would have effectively been an open border.

India has always declined any trade agreement that did not provide an open visa system for Indian nationals to come here at will. The agreement did not overcome this, the final paragraphs would have been announced after the election. Guess what and why? Tories have always focussed everyone on boat migrants because it scares people into voting for them but majority come here with visas to provide cheap labour for tory donors and the Tories say next to nothing about them. The Tories make a splash about boats but in reality there are huge numbers they could deport to home country at any time but they don't because immigration dept is so starved of funding.

And yet it was Gordon Brown who did it. Funny how leftists talked about selling off BT as selling the family silver, then sold off the actual national gold

[@theotherside8258]

Tories sold gold even cheaper than Labour but Daily mail wouldn't tell you that. Sunak also printed so much money that it caused inflation, nothing to do with their excuses, Sunak borrowed so much he couldn't borrow any more because it was damaging our credit ratings, Tories raised so many taxes on ordinary people and gave tax breaks that only benefited wealthiest or small numbers. Last Labour govt was actually reducing borrowing until the financial crisis but Tory govt after that continued borrowing at even higher levels

[@colbucks]

You can't fix something that is designed not to be fixed. The issue is that the problems are systemic, so unless you break and fix the system blocking politicians to able to profit from systemic issues, then we'll just continue the merry go around.

Fairly clear that Labour will need to inform the public of just how much wealth the Conservatives transferred out of public ownership and into privateers' bank accounts in their 14 year smash and grab so that we understand what the purpose of the last 14 years of Conservative government and how much it was enabled and covered for by the 'media'. Reforms will be needed, I doubt we will see justice for the crimes committed but the names and 'reputations' of all those involved should not be spared. This will include still sitting Conservative MPs and those in the Lords.
