None of that has impacted my or anyone I know.

But enlighten us all please with some evidence to back up your claims. Please do not post Guardian links.

Windrush impacted how many people?

4 million kids in poverty, please define poverty?

What teaching crisis?

Private prison crisis? What crisis is that?

Policing crisis? We are seeing more recruited. Are we in a crisis at the minute? Define crisis. Are the baddies winning?

NHS issues. What percentage more are dying waiting for treatment now compared to 20 years ago?

Armed forces crisis? Wow what country is attacking us and we cannot defend ourselves against?

Social care crisis? What is that all about?

If you genuinely think the country is in any form of crisis, you clearly are pretty clueless.

Rather than write crap that is listed on a Labour Party flyer, actually think about things.

If things were as bad as you have speculated, the Conservative lead would not be up to 12 points as it is tonight.

I’m a civil servant btw. Quite senior on my office. Not quite SCS but not far away. I see no crisis. we are managing just fine.

Have we all been wooshed?

If not, you should bow your head in shame...

....as opposed to voting tory for employed people in food bank queues and thousands sleeping rough... right.

Austerity will come to an end if you vote tory.

That had to employ austerity as it was common sense as labour went mad with the finances as usual when they were last in. spend, spend spend.


A vote for tory will stabilize the country, if you vote for any other seat which could potentially make it a hung parliament, we will be back into the boom-bust scenario.
That's what happens after a labour government when they get their mitts on the cheque book.

This time around with Labours latest brain dead spending plans we will end up going into a longer austerity.

Lets not break the country again, eh?

Oh dear Mouldy, even the Tories quit using that old tired line as it was indefensible upon examination. I think that you are suffering Stockholm Syndrome, poor chap.

Not strange really
If none of the papers have led with it, its probably likely you have over imagined the relative car crashity of the interviews and its only important to you......and the majority of voters and press are a bit meh

And that Ladies and Gentlemen is precisely what is wrong with this country, too many miopic people who can’t see past their own bubble of a small world. If it doesn’t hurt them, it doesn’t exist...!

The way Kuenssberg in particular tweeted it made it sound like Labour had sent a baying mob and one of them had given someone a proper slap. Disgusting 'reporting', frankly, from the Political Editor of the BBC.

Labour's spending as a % of GDP was below the previous Tory government and stayed below until the GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRASH that the banks created.

You live in a fantasy world where facts, figures and evidence don't actually matter.

Even the borrowing was less than Major's government 1992-1995.

Search for 'back on his trolley' on Twitter. This senior nursing sister seems to have hundreds of friends, all tweeting exactly the same word for word.
Hundreds of bots.

Except - no one who,lives in Leeds would say Leeds hospital because there is no such hospital.
There is Leeds General Infirmary aka LGI, and St James aka Jimmys

You notice, I said the hospital trust issued an apology not calling it Leeds hospital.
True. They've created fake news sites, fake fact checking service , fake ads, false news to senior journos and now BOTS!
