This should be the Tories’ best argument against Jeremy Corbyn... but they’ve thrown it awayThe Tories are warning voters that Corbyn would wreck the economy. I’m sure they’re right. I’ve got just one question. Why should the rest of the country believe them? I guess that would be a miracle, as the economy is already wrecked!!!! Guess who was charge for the last years and made that happen. They shouldn't the national debt has gone up far more under Tories. Nobody warned us in 2010 you'd wreck society. and look at the the disaster. Here is the news you do know what that is? TrussellTrust
