I do/ will hold the Tories accountable for the debt they are accumulating during this pandemic and it will be up them to grow the economy to balance out the debt mountain they have made. This will be the test.
The reason why Labour were lambasted was the debt they had accumulated just before a crash, with the economy shrinking. No crash, no problem. It was just unfortunate for them they were left holding the baby when the music stopped.
The Tories have at least another 3 years, and judging by how the voting went, another 8 years most likely, in power to grow the economy. If after then we have another major recession and we have not got the spending/ debt under control, the Tories would not have their reputation to rely on.
