What a load of rubbish.

The fact of the matter is over its term in office Labour spending was never any more excessive than previous Tory administrations. In fact they ran a surplus from 1998 to 2001.

Before the financial crisis of 2008 Labour ran a deficit for 6 years which totaled £201029bn. The Tories ran a deficit for the last 6 years of their last government up to 1997 totaling £222788bn. They had a bigger "credit card bill" than Labour.

Here are the facts for you to digest and learn from:

You may not agree with what they spent than money on which was mostly things like rebuilding schools and getting patients off trolleys in corridors as they were left under Majors previous government but that is a different debate. What is clear is that they spent less on average than the Tories pre-the financial crisis.

Since the financial crisis we continue to run deficits of roughly over 4 times the typical amounts of Majors last Tory government and that of Brown.

These are facts which you simply cannot refute.

Utter tripe.

Labour were in power at the crest of an economic upside, 1991-97 was one of the worst post war recessions.
