You must remember that the last labour government by the time they left had rinsed the country. We didn’t have a debt before then and we had gold reserves. This was all wiped out and they left a note for the conservatives telling them they had nothing. Ten years of spending by labour meant years of debt for our country. Who are you going to blame - the party who pissed it all up the wall and took the country to financial ruin or the ones that tried to get us out of the debt who admittedly failed.
