I wonder how Labour voters can sleep knowing that their party created a deficit so big that it will take a minimum of 15 years to clear .....and now all they do is complain about "tory" austerity - you couldn't make it up.

Considering the Tories have doubled the national debt from £800bn to over a trillion pounds I could ask the same thing.

They might not if labour did create the deficit.

And that's down to Labour.

Can you imagine how quckly we will be in even further trouble if Corbyn ever won?

That would be a scary day.

Labour spend, spend, spend - debt, debt, debt - nothing Christian about that!

Can you explain why the deficit is down to Labour, what would the Torys would have done in 2007/2008 and what they have prevented them from doing since they have been the Government.

The Blairites were in power for 13 years and the national debt was £800bn, the Tories have been in power for 5 and have already doubled that to a trillion pounds.

I suppose the one silver lining is that thanks to them £1 is now worth much less than it was last year.

But I thought you said the Tories were slashing public spending? Where has all the money gone? Some actual hard stats would be appreciated, anecdotes, not so much.

You're the Tory. You explain what your awful government has been blowing all our money on.

I'm still waiting for your response to getting rumbled on your virtue signalling.

You got savaged over the last few pages. Have you re-evaluated your world view in light of the realisation that Conservative voters are more charitable and effective in helping those in need than your left-wing platitudes?

I've never voted Tory. I am not saying I would not if I believed their policies more aligned with my views, because I am not dogmatic about party lines.

You are the one making the claims, you need to explain things.
