'The Tories broke Britain'

The Tories have tied Labor's record for time in office, says Fleet Street Fox. But they broke Britain doing it

And they won't put it back together

From tomorrow, there will have been a Conservative Prime Minister in Downing Street for exactly 4,757 days.

According to Westminster's Politico website, that's the same length of time New Labor ruled. It is therefore a good moment to take stock, and see - in all impartiality - how these two parties compare over 13 years.

Labour had two prime ministers. The Conservatives are on their fifth. And if there was a contest to find the greatest economic minds of their generation, Gordon Brown makes Liz Truss look like Liz Truss.

He spent £33 billion saving the banking system, while she lost £30 billion pissing him off.

She has done a lot for the lettuce industry, watch out (

In 2009, Brown cited one of Labour's greatest achievements as "the shortest NHS waiting lists in history". After 13 years of Tory 'reforms', we now have the longest waiting lists in history, plus the joy of knowing that the next underpaid NHS worker who will have to stick a finger in the ass will do so in staggering on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

In order to hold on to power, the Tories had to strike a deal with the goofy Lib Dems, another with the DUP butterflies, and even had to gratefully accept Nigel Farage's offer not to run the candidates for the Brexit Party at some of their seats. .

Labour hasn't made any deals with anyone, but they are constantly being asked what Mephistophelian contract they would sign this time to seize power.

Tony Blair had such an overwhelming majority that it took 13 years to erode it. Boris Johnson won a landslide victory and lost the support of everyone but Nadine Dorries in just 2.5 years.
