In 1997 the Tories bequeathed New Labour:

- 3.5% GDP growth
- 4.5% wage growth
- 4.6% manufacturing output growth
- Energy independence and falling energy prices
- A brand new nuclear power station (1995)
- New reservoirs (1992)
- Construction of Manchester airport's second runway
- Falling unemployment
- London as the world’s leading foreign-exchange centre
- A newly opened Channel Tunnel
- Debt at just 37% of GDP
- On track for a balanced budget

Andy Burnham just said that this was failure. Somehow.

@JohnLewisEU Yes - give it to those who have worked their whole life for it and don’t give it to those who (unless unable of course) chose to sit on their arse for years letting others pay for them.

@bbclaurak Client journalism at it’s finest

@wesstreeting Perhaps your Labour government can stop hounding them through the courts then? Actions speak a great deal louder than words, after all.

[PiB @PiBMcGinty]

@MarkSeddon1962 Satire, surely?

@henrywinter That’s such bollox Henry. Did you delete the tweet you had drafted if Spurs had taken 1,2,3 or 4 of their umpteen chances in the first half? Spurs ‘bereft of goal threat’ yet the Villa keeper gets man of the match. You’re just a wannabe posh version of talkSPORT ragebait.

@TorstenBell Yes Torsten, it’s all champagne and caviar! Have you visited the real world recently? Spoke to anyone struggling to get by or worried about their future and that of their children? How can you possibly boast of your record?

@KirstieMAllsopp Or you’re a developer who has bought a property that needs to have a future value of £1.5 million to make a marginal profit to feed your family (and pay tax to feed the families of those that chose not to work)…….

@DanNeidle @FraserNelson What is the effect that the inevitable reduction in property value and further stymying of the market will have on other taxes, most notably (but not only) stamp duty? Have these 6th formers given that any consideration?

[PiB @PiBMcGinty]

@KirstieMAllsopp @Iromg One thing we can guarantee Kirstie is that whatever it’s true value before it’s ‘valued’ for this tax, is that it will in real terms be worth much less following it. They are deluded 6th form politician LS who are driving our economy into the ground

[PiB @PiBMcGinty]

@DanNeidle Do you get your money back once this, on top of everything else these morons are introducing, halves the value of your home?

[PiB @PiBMcGinty]

@trussliz Why do your tweets gain so little traction @BBCNews @SkyNews @GBNEWS most weee keen to destroy you and now there’s not a word

[PiB @PiBMcGinty]

@graynics How can you not show a Scoop amongst that lot?!?

[PiB @PiBMcGinty]

@DTyesplease @Trollkickoff Brings a tear to the eye doesn’t it? What sacrifice

[PiB @PiBMcGinty]

@ciaranodeorain Highland Reel surely has to be on this list!

[PiB @PiBMcGinty]

@MazzaInvests I’d say, stick it up your arris (if you don’t mind pardoning the pun as a bricklayer)

[PiB @PiBMcGinty]

@SkySportsNews Is he on the haircut challenge where he doesn’t get it sorted until his team make a decent signing or Gabby Agbonglahor learns to count to ten?

@Telegraph A story so English in it’s origin, William Shakespeare himself could have written it.
