Check it out. Growth, real income, unemployment...Labour has done better on every economic aspect.
Invested more in the NHS too.
The post 2010 "austerity" was a choice. Inflicted for ideological reasons, but had the effect of further dragging down economic activity.
How the Tories cling to their reputation for being sound on the economy is a mystery.
Anyone who has had to renew a fixed-rate mortgage deal in the last six months is paying on average £300 a month more due to the shambolic efforts of Truss and Kwarteng.
Yeah , because the Blair/Brown massive expansion of the PFI scheme in the NHS has been such a roaring success , hasn't it ? NHS trusts will pay £2.1bn on PFI repayments this year alone .
And not to forget about 'Prudence' Browns balls up by underselling over half of Britain's gold reserves .
Your claim about Labour having a better record on umemployment is also misleading . When Labour won the 1997 election the unemployment rate for adults was 7.2%. When it left government in 2010, it was 7.9%. Today , it is 3.9% .
This Government has without doubt been a disaster........but at least it ain't Labour
