Such a relief for all of us especially for our children who would have been saddled with our debt under Corbyn’s plan

What's the plan with the millions already mired in poverty due to austerity and general economic mismanagement by the tory government ? Or do those children not matter ?

LuckyMarmiteLover · 27/11/2019 23:31

Unfortunately I believe we will all be much worse, especially our children, as a result of the looming conservative no deal brexit.

Inebriati · 27/11/2019 23:32

There isn't a single party I trust to run the country, so I don't care who gets in; its going to be awful whichever party wins.

Whoever wins, their supporters will gloat. It will get nastier than it already has been.

TheElfFellOffTheShelf · 27/11/2019 23:33

Yes because the national debt has reduced so much over the last 9 years, hasn't it? The Tories haven't wasted or squandered any money at all, have they?

Lockheart · 27/11/2019 23:33

Be glad for whatever reason you like. You don't need validation from MN to be pleased about something.

MistyCloud · 27/11/2019 23:33

Urgh! Sad

Income inequality will increase under the Tories which is terrible for the economy overall. What you need for a thriving economy is a system that is a little bit fairer where people can still be wealthy of course, but where more people have a bit more of a fair share so that they can put that money back into the economy. The current Tory system is one where the rich become richer and the poor become even poorer. There are plenty of economists in support of Labour’s plans, and plenty of countries that have a much fairer society. It is a disgrace and a choice that the Tories have made to allow one of the richest countries in the world have child poverty increasing - 1 in 4 children living in poverty when there is no need.

Laughable.

MsJaneAusten · 27/11/2019 23:35

Oh, right, so it’s ok for our children to be saddled with underfunded schools?

AutumnCrow · 27/11/2019 23:36

Night night bot bot

I worry about the vulnerable people in society who the conservatives don't care about. But I'm not surprised you are feeling relieved about the Tories being ahead. A Tory voter with a social conscience is an oxymoron.

WalkersAreNotTheOnlyCrisps · 27/11/2019 23:38

Such a relief for all of us

Presumptuous much?

Craft74 · 27/11/2019 23:39

Austerity only came about as the labour government spent too much and didn’t save for a crisis. Other countries did but we didn’t. You can’t have a go at the tories for trying to reduce labours borrowing.
It seems like people want to have a labour government that spends money we don’t have saddle our children with debt and worry about it later! Please think of our dependents that will have to pay this debt back.

The gap between the top 5% rich and the poor will get wider by the year

The NHS will disappear at a faster rate than it is now and for those of you with health problems don’t expect insurance to be cheap, that’s if you can get insurance

Craft74 · 27/11/2019 23:41

@roseapothecary

A labour voter who worries about debt burden on our children is an oxymoron

Totally agree with Inebriati!

Doyoumind · 27/11/2019 23:42

OP it's clear from your posting history you have joined MN today simply to post pro tory shit.

Bot off.

HoneysuckIejasmine · 27/11/2019 23:42

What about the kids currently living in poverty, OP?

LurpakIsTheOnlyButter · 27/11/2019 23:42

So OP, you are joyfully clapping your hands for the child who wrote a letter asking for a home and food for Christmas?

Or for all the closed libraries where kids can't go to do their homework?

Or are you clapping your hands for the nurses who won't eat today so they can guarantee their kids get a meal?

I was one of those nurses who couldn't feed my kids. A single parent. I now do very well for my family in the private sector.

Don't look for me when you want the NHS because I'm not there anymore. Nor are all the marvellous nurses I've seen walk alongside me because we were so poorly treated and undervalued. There are not enough to replace us and under a conservative government you will be nursing your own at home unless you want to watch your loved ones die while they wait for ambulance services.

Craft74 · 27/11/2019 23:43

The NHS will disappear under labour as the country will be bankrupt and can’t afford it

Inebriati · 27/11/2019 23:43

You must think we were born yesterday.

In the UK in the 1980’s there was also a revolution in banking de-regulation. Instigated by the government under Margaret Thatcher, in 1986, there were far-reaching changes in the banking sector.
