So they were in power from 2010, guess I must have missed that

 

What you missed was that the first austerity measures were introduced in late 2008, and you apparently also missed Alistair Darling's March 2010 budget, when he promised the Labour government would "cut deeper and tougher" than Margaret Thatcher, with the IFS pointing out that there was only a "modest difference" between the spending plans of Labour and the Tories.

I've no doubt Labour did plan to cut further in 2010 but the fact remains the Lib Dems were the party in coalition and even when seeing the damage polices like the bedroom tax were inflicting on people they ploughed on regardless.

Polices that shrunk the economy by £100b  and were linked to over 120,000 preventable deaths

The Lib Dems voluntarily chose the partnership and as such were a reason that every Tory cut was passed. 

 

But at least we now pay 5p for a plastic bag so every silver lining

Didn’t that budget basically nail the coffin for Labour at that years GE? I think I remember Darling getting loads of shit at the time. 

Ultimately Labour's downfall was to apparently leave the coffers dry....Even though it was a global financial crash

Good. So we can stop pretending that Ed Miliband, or any other Labour politician, wouldn't have been on board with the huge spending cuts we made in this country if it was them who happened to be sitting in the chair when the music stopped.

Oh look. The Tory Cabinet thread has changed into a discussion about Labour. What a completely unexpected surprise... 

 

Not really a surprise since you started talking about Starmer

No Starmer for PMQs or the budget response as he's tested positive for Covid.

How come we don't see opposition or the media point out the bullshit succinctly.

Well the media's pretty obvious, it's largely Tory-supporting and there's no way they'd expose the myth of Tory economic competency. And at the moment, the opposition are a bunch of supine wankers more interested in internal party power struggles than opposing the government.

In one.

The way starmer has let that fucking clown blunder from 1 disaster to another whilst people suffer is,quite frankly,unforgivable.
