Labour's year of broken promises

Next week marks the first anniversary of the Labour Government and a year of broken promises. 

In the last two weeks alone we have seen three major U-turns on welfare reforms, winter fuel payments, and the national grooming scandal. With inflation up, unemployment up, borrowing costs up, and growth down, tax rises are widely predicted this autumn 

From Labour’s false claims that council tax bills would not go up, to their Jobs Tax killing economic growth, the failure to smash the gangs as small boat crossings surge, spending billions whilst surrendering the Chagos Islands, hitting rural communities with a family farm tax and releasing serious criminals out of prison early, the newspaper front pages from their first year show how hopeless they are. 

And when Reform are asked about how they would grow the economy, they return to ideas closer to Jeremy Corbyn’s view of the world - scrapping the two child benefit cap hiking welfare spending, more government intervention in business, fantasy unfunded economic pledges, and bans such as energy battery storage which will cost consumers more.
