I could offer you a menu of "word salad, " ala Mrs Balls or Ms Cooper , but I'm not a politician and don't lie either.

The Tories hardly dragged "the country into the gutter " but if you think that's the case, I hope that after five years of this shower , we're not submerged, deep, into the cess pit and still have a country we can vaguely recognise.
Under three terms of Blairism, standards certainly declined , but the fortunes of himself, his family and HR Lawyers , certainly improved?.
The fact remains, that under every Labour PM the economy has been trashed rather than improved.

As is often quoted ,
" Socialism works until they've run out of everyone else's money!"
Not since Harold Wilson, has any Labour Gov't been remotely socialist. Merely a different colour of capitalists without the necessary nous.
