Why should we trust them now?



Tories had 14 years to change Britain and they failed - why should we trust them now?


  • Tax-Free Shopping Flip: Tory leader Kemi Badenoch announced bringing back tax-free shopping for tourists, despite having scrapped the VAT Retail Export Scheme in 2021, which she previously defended.
  • Policy Failures: Over 14 years, the Tories failed to address immigration, IR35 rules, Brexit issues, and ECHR obligations, while also neglecting schools, hospitals, and crime control.
  • Legacy Concerns: The party left the UK with record debt, low productivity, a crumbling NHS, and rising street crime, raising doubts about their ability to fix problems they created.

A very common question of course, but we could also ask - 

The UK government had decades to change Britain and it failed - why should we trust it now?

We shouldn't, obviously, but too many voters do.

"while also neglecting schools, hospitals ...": why do people insist on weakening their arguments by including obvious lies?

dearieme - I don't know why they do that because the point is made without it. They seem to toss it in as a standard lie their audience will believe.
