Quote Sal Paradise="Sal Paradise"Why have we had years of austerity - because the Tories inherited a complete financial mess from the last Labour government. When things are so catastrophic something has to give and it takes a lot longer to put in right than it does to get into the mess in the first place.
As is often the case in life you have to go backwards before you can go forwards again. Now there is a chance of some progress.
You also have Labour grandees such as Blair saying don't vote for Corbyn and then you have the Chief Rabbi calling him out too? Seems Johnson is not the only one shy of explaining himself.
Brexit he has a deal than can be progressed to the next stage quickly - the Tories are the only party that can promise that. Will we leave with no deal - a distinct possibility - everyone knows the crunch doesn't come until the 11th hour and if the remainers hadn't cut his legs off Boris would have done a better deal than he did.
The NHS needs a fundamental review - what do we actually expect of it - once we have decided that then agree how best to fund it. You will never be able to put sufficient money to do all things for all people.
Personally for all their failings are there are many still believe a government that encourages business is better than one that want to take control back into the public sector - that's a personal view.'"
Interesting thoughts on the need for Austerity.
Government borrowing as a % of GDP is higher today than when the Tories came to power 10 years ago and yet, now, they can spend freely because "borrowing is under control" ??
As for Brexit, we both know that, depending on whether the Tories gain a big enough overall majority, the UK will leave with "no deal" at the end of 2020, blaming the EU for not giving them everything that they want.
You will have noticed that there will no longer be anyone willing to go against Boris/Farage/Cummings - a party stacked with yes men and the (significant)move to the right may well mean that the "oven ready" deal, never actually gets "baked".
