What he said.
But let's continue to pretend that you said the Tories are perfect and have never done anything wrong or made any mistakes because that gets us out of a hole having to deny Corbyn's cronies are anything other than nasty, inept Marxists who'd ruin the UK just like they did in the 1970s.

I accept that they are saying differently now, but the economy is in rather better shape now than it was in 2010. Had Labour succeeded in getting a further crack at governing the country then, the economy would be in a parlous state, people would be poorer and the NHS would be teetering on the brink of collapse. Another IMF bailout would have been highly likely, with much worse austerity than the coalition or the present government have imposed.

Unsurprisingly, they've forgotten that as quickly as they forgot his cynical duplicitous pledge to pay off student debts and all the other pre-election lies not to mention their utter lack of a credible policy on the EU. Mind you we can conflate all that with saying the Tories are perfect can't we...
