Which party so mismanaged the economy that the IMF was called in, forcing the incoming government to make drastic cuts in the welfare state in 1980? The 1980's I lived in were all about UK Plc recovering from excessive borrowing in the 1970's. 30 years later, the 2010's are going to be all about recovering from excessive borrowing in the 2000's. Labour is bad for the Nation's wealth - every time

Gordon needs to get Labour's impressive economic record from 1997 to 2010 across in bold figures to the voters


Govt Borrowing from £27 bn to £163 bn

Govt Debt from £347 bn to £799 bn

Growth from +3.3% to -5.0%

Inflation from 1.9% to 3.0%

Personal Debt from £492 bn to £1,460 bn

Health Spending from £43 bn to £119 bn

Education from £38 bn to £161 bn

Unemployment from 2.23 mil to 2.45 mil

Average House prices from £55k to £161k

Price of underfunding the military in a war. 200 service personnel and rising
