The arse end of Hangleton
Liz Truss did at least manage to make the banks LOADS of extra money from the rise in interest rates.

Again one from coalition period, maybe should made this question to 2015 - 2024, ie Tories governing alone. That's when it all fell apart

The pension freedoms legislation, which came into force from April 2015, allowed savers to flexibly access their defined contribution pension from the age of 55 and use the funds for a wider range of options, including cash withdrawal, retirement income products or a combination of the two.

In other word, no longer constrained by annunity products
OK! Maps to what @dazzer6666 said.

(I am still not going to back PR so we can have coalition governments, though. Ironically, former Liberal voters are even less likely to back PR and a coalition now, after Cleggy 'betrayed' the Liberal manifesto when he got into bed with 'call me' Dave. But I digress.).

Lucrative PPE contracts given to anyone in a Tory MP's WhatsApp contacts list.

Ker-ching!

West is BEST
Consistent visible ethnic diversity at the very top of the party
Proving race is no barrier to being a total ****.

Offshore wind is a good one.
My mate George Osborne introduced a progressive tax too -- on stamp duty. The fact that it was progressive and on assets was a good move.
On the whole, they got a lot right with Covid.

The Albion were promoted to the PL for the first time under a Tory government. No other party can ever claim that achievement.

Offshore wind was great. Pity Cameron opt to "get rid of the green crap in 2015", banned onshore wind / solar and the code for sustainable homes

The damage has been unprecedented IMHO, but to say nothing has been achieved would be harsh, here's a couple...

Expansion of Offshore wind generation (largely down to coalition with LD, but a wins a win)

Pension reform / pension freedoms, finally something to get employers to contribute and employees to pay in
I wonder what motivated Cameron to be so enthusiastic about wind farms?




And besides that, wind farms generate very little energy.

So no new homes have been built in the period 2010 - 2017 inclusive? 8 years? Really? Not a political bias, but the bloke is an idiot.
He should be clearer but he's right - the government promised they'd fund and build 200,000 "starter homes" over ten years to create affordable housing, of which none have ever been built. They went as far as acquiring some land...which was then used for private housing developments.
