“As Brown intended, but Cameron implemented” - that was really nice of them to implement their opponent’s policy of austerity, a policy they kept going on about at the time and still try to defend.

The Spectato will always find time to blame Labour for the Conservative’s catastrophic mishandling of the public finances.

I had to laugh at “cross-party conspiracy” - they produce a laundry list of the way the grifters in the Tory party screwed us and throw in PFIs as if that helps spread the blame equally when they clearly show how the Conservatives cancelled or downgraded Labour policies that would have at least partially addressed the current problems.

One of the first things they did when the coalition came to power was cancel the Building Schools for the Future programme, and the construction industry took a massive hit, resulting in an awful lot of pointless unemployment. This article claims that that stuff was exactly what Gordon Brown had planned. I’m about as skeptical about that claim as I am about anything that came from the holes of former Prat Clown Boris Johnson or former Presidunce Donald Trump.
