[Politics] Tory party achievements 2010 - 2024

[Westdene Seagull]

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

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

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.).

Remember it well. You can fool some of the people some of the time. Until a government has the courage to undertake a real root and branch reform of the NHS, funding will continue to disappear into a massive black hole of overburdening middle management and inefficiency.

Almost need a Tory Bellend poll, but that would be a bit naughty

Too many to choose from

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 Clamp]

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?

David Cameron's father-in-law will earn £250,000 a year with a subsidised wind farm | UK | News | Express.co.uk

DAVID Cameron’s father-in-law is expected to rake in an extra £250,000 a year when a second subsidised wind farm on his country estate is completed next year – despite a Government crack down on new on-shore wind turbines.

And besides that, wind farms generate very little energy.

Mate your Avitar picture is a bit out of order no

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.
