"In almost every realm of government activity, this lot have made life worse. The policies referred to in every sentence in this article have damaged untold thousands of lives. The party has created the broken Britain it claimed its mission was to repair."
It feels odd to say it, but I needed this refresher of just how bad things have been. Their vandalism has been on such a scale that it has been hard to stop their latest damage from overshadowing past messes.
Only part way through this, and it’s depressing as hell. One bright spot to point out though; the U.K. is a leader in renewable power generation; as I type this it’s currently generating 48% via renewables and 15% nuclear grid.iamkate.com (though Tories seem to have done what they can to stop this)
For the sake of balance, 14 years worth of things I think they’ve got right:
- Osborne’s pension reforms
- decarbonisation of generation: credit to Ed Davey of course
- IPSA and new MP expenses rules
- support for Ukraine
- not trying to make a narcissistic rapist dictator-for-life.
Anything else?
