Why ? What did Labour do to BENEFIT any of those people, nothing!!

Forunately we've got a Conservative government for the forseeable future, I hope I never see Labour in power again.

You're beyond blinkered fella - Blair for all his faults did plenty for those groups.

Minimum wage, surestart centres, childcare, winter fuel payments, banned testing on animals, child trust funds, record students in higher educations, paternity pay.

Your beloved tories are a sick joke, the top 5% have increased their wealth by 15% while nurses, police and firefighters suffer a real terms cut.

I dont want to have a go at your eye sight but, foreseeable future ??
We havent even got a date for the Queens speech (Despite Mrs May initially saying that a deal had been done) and she will be gone by Christmas, possibly a lot sooner.
If the Tories are so confident, they would have another General Election but, dont hold your breath

Another myth you have allowed yourself to be duped into believing.

Labour invested heavily at the start of their reign, the deficit was coming down nicely, all under control and then the GLOBAL economic crash hit. No doubt that was all Labours fault as well?

I'll admit that his continuance of Thatchers financial deregulation and stupid PFI deals were well, stupid but if you actually look at the figures everything was pretty much under control.

You really should educate yourself beyond the echo chamber in which you currently operate; you're a Tory strategists dream - repeat the same tired old drivel enough times in enough places, and a significant chunk of the electorate will believe it, and repeat in angrily in pubs. Try this for starters?
