    She’s definitely a threat to the hundreds of thousands of disabled people who regularly get judged to be fit to work, or those who are recalled for assessments on the off-chance that missing limbs have grown back.

    And you ask a Tory and you’ll get the line that Labour are a threat to everyone because they’ll trash the economy.

    The SNP campaign on the basis that they are anti-Tory. The Conservatives campaign on the basis they are anti-SNP. Everyone campaigns on the basis that they are better than Labour.

    “They are worse than we are” isn’t exactly the sort of message that energises people. But modern politics seems to have degraded into soundbites and nonsense statements (build a wall, 350m for the NHS, etc, etc) rather than any intellectual discourse.

    Of course, politicians only come out with what they see having an effect on the electorate. If we didn’t collectively respond to this crap then they wouldn’t build their campaigns on it.

    Labour are a threat to everyone because they’ll trash the economy.

    Show me the evidence.

    Blair Brown oversaw 14 years of economic growth until a global crisis financial hit. Darling and Brown set us well on the road to recovery until Osborne trashed the economy
