    The deficit has grown under Tory leadership. Your decision to divide the country with Brexit has harmed our economy and relations with EU.

      True, but national debt now at £1.7tn up about £700bn since austerity Tories came in to power. Public services slashed but the debt rises.

      At the same time as austerity Tories dropped corp tax robbing the country of additional revenue. End result lowest GDP growth in G7 at 0.2%

      You are deliberately confusing matters. How much the UK owes has grown considerable even if the rate at which the debt grows has slowed

      In 2005 under Labour deficit was £20bln. Less than half of Conservatives today. And I dont remember school & NHS cuts to achieve it.

      In 2007 under a Labour government the deficit was £37bln ... £28bln of which was for investment. This is level we need to get back to.
