John, economics are largely factual. My understanding of history is that Labour gained power in 1997 and remained in power until 2010. Public spending as a percentage of GDP was 36 per cent in 2000. Public spending then accelerated rapidly throughout the 2000s and reached a peak of 45.5 per cent of GDP in 2010. By that time the country was broke as the outgoing Labour Administration admitted with their famous "there's no money left note".
