Yes, they are.

This current government have handled the unions appallingly and overseen a major resurgence in unionism.
Immigration is as much an 'issue' now as it was under Blair.
We are economically worse off now than we were under Brown.

We are on our 6th Tory PM in 5 years, each with a nice flip and a flop in policy and direction of travel.

You cling onto decade old Labour examples of failures, whilst sticking your fingers in your ears about the very current failings of the Conservatives.

This obsession with a hypothetical Labour government, whilst we live through objectively one of the worst governments we have ever had, is just nonsense.

So when Gordon Brown gave tax relief on Pension payments, but said that he would have to tax pensions when we took them. Causing UK stock markets to surge and then when he decided to claw all that tax back, causing a stock market crash that was credible was it! It was incompetence pure and simple. He also left in place taxation on pensions when we take them which was never reversed.

Sorry but I voted labour when I was 18. Income tax went up to 33% and NI went up as well. I was an apprentice with a young family and all the promises about looking after the poorest were just BS. Never again.

I missed out car drivers being hit hard as well.

We could be living in a barren wasteland, mass homelessness and unemployment, the country starving on rations as the rule of law breaks down… and some boomer would still be sat there saying ‘can you imagine it was Labour!?’

Sorry but you’re quite literally proving my point - you’re clinging onto examples of government incompetence from decades ago as more relevant than the very government incompetence we are living through currently.

This is the most incompetent government we have ever had.
