Originally posted by Zero Liability View PostI just don't understand why Labour gets a free pass on the NHS, when they introduced PFIs, and have virtually no clue how to deal with the "cost of living crisis", attenuated as it has been by falling energy prices. The Tories understand this game and are playing it, too, e.g. via the starter scheme for first-time buyers, and by gradually pushing up the HRT and BRT (as is UKIP.) All these parties have ideas on the cost of living crisis, some good, some bad, some terrible. Labour still seems stuck on freezing energy prices, lowering tuition fees and the mansion tax, none of which are particularly bright ideas, some of which the Tories have through concerted effort or sheer happenstance already neutered.
I'm by no means a Tory supporter, but there is a reason they are remaining fairly stable in the polls. UKIP may be hurting them, as it is addressed at a major part of the Tory party that feels neglected and ignored, but they are doing the same to Labour, especially up North.
We haven't forgotten they didn't put the cost on the balance sheet (neither have the Tories rectified the con trick)
We haven't forgotten that many of the PFI companies the NHS (we) owe the billions to are now in foreign hands tied up in trusts in tax havens.
Good deal that was!
