Conservatives 2010: 'We'll balance the budget by 2015'

Conservatives 2015: 'We'll balance the budget by 2020'

Conservatives 2017: 'We'll balance the budget by 2025'

And people think they're the party of economic competence...give me a ****ing break

Scrapping free school meals, a 'living' wage that isn't actually a living wage, more grammar schools, a free vote on fox hunting, more workers rights that are irrelevant when employment tribunal fees are unaffordable, etc etc. I can't believe people are going to vote for this ****, it's disgusting

You couldn't make it up Honestly.

That promise of clearing the deficit by 2015 in 2010 now being extended to 2025 is an absolute disgrace.
The argument for all the austerity from 2010 was stated as being vital to clearing that deficit in 2015.

It's like the other card she is playing again now too that she has failed on massively herself since 2010.
The immigration card she plays again here as to getting it to tens of thousands.
She'll need to stop students coming then as they make up a number higher than that themselves.

No other party would get away with conning voters like this.
None.

Giving children a breakfast is actually more beneficial because more actual learning is done in the morning and hungry children don't concentrate. I saw on the news they are doing something re breakfasts. Being realistic there are few families who can't manage a sandwich for lunch.

Grammar schools allow poor children from council estates to have a better chance at education if they are bright. Anyone who says otherwise has never been a poor bright child.

Why would anyone complain about being given more rights at work?

Re the budget deficit you can thank Labour for the ongoing mess.

Yes, and they are not scrapping free school meals, only scrapping the freebies for them that don't need them.
