“……like the cost of living, which is due to war, and covid, which has drained the country of money.“

On the face of it, that seems right until you look closer, but really Frank, think back to the world-wide financial meltdown when Labour were in power. The Tories quite rightly blamed Labour for squandering resources and not having a plan to get us out of a fiscal black hole. They then, quite wrongly, blamed Labour for the whole problem for the next two decades. So now we have a cost of living problem on the Tories’ watch and somehow it’s not their fault? They also seem to have been squandering resources (how many billions to their buddies for PPE) and don’t have a plan to get out of the mess. So it’s all the fault of the Tories DESPITE the war and covid.

I hope that clears it up for you.
