Agree. One was electable and sadly one isn’t which will lead us towards five more years of Etonism.

Whatever your politics, when the economy is doing well, you should save - Blair spent. This is why we have had to reduce the public sector deficit, but it is still a deficit.

They messed the defined benefit pensions up, on the first budget, by taking away the tax credit on dividends. The only place these are still available is in the public sector. That has lead to so many future issues with pensions and hence the need for the triple lock on the old age pension.

I had no issues with his government as a whole. But, Johnson is much more like Blair than Corbyn, in his politics. I do have issues with Corbyn.

Corbyn's politics, which now have become intertwined with labour's, sadly.
