What's ironic about someone (who is promising lots of free money for a large portion of the portfolio) being more popular than someone who has to try to manage an overspend?

Perhaps the irony is having instigated an election, after repeatedly stating there wouldn't be one, in order to improve her and her parties standing, she and he party now find themselves
less popular than the party, and specifically their leader, that they tried so hard to demonise.

When do you think this overspend will be managed and overcome?

Probably when the opposition stop lying to the electorate about 'cuts and austerity'.

After Teflon Tony, Corbyn is clearly made of some further improved miracle material to which nothing can stick. We've just had a week where they admitted that one of the highest profile promises of the Labour manifesto were not achievable (or if you're feeling harsh - a lie), and yet Santa Corbyn is still seen as a figure to trust.

How will what the opposition says, or doesn't say improve the present Goverments performance on this particular aspect?

a £150bn deficit has reduced to less than £50bn - that's a decent performance given the constraints of the Coalition (first) and the practicalities of reducing spending by less than inflation and still staying in power.

But how has that been held back by what the opposition has or has not said?

If the cuts had been greater, what would have happened at the recent elections?
If the opposition had provided an economically literate manifesto, rather than promised free money for everyone, what would have happened at the recent elections?

My view is that the electorate were faced with a similar decision to that which they are usually faced with. Except this time, Labour tried to engage with them whilst May thought she was on an absolute banker and treated people with contempt. The public saw through that.

Labour trying to bribe the electorate by resorting to the magic money tree?

But the recent election is just that, recent, and took all of 3 months.

Are you saying that without the election the overspend would have been managed and overcome?

What I've said is very clear. And it is not what you are claiming.

I think she treated people with too much respect and a naive minority fell for the obscene amounts of free money Corbyn was dangling with one hand while trying to hide his other hand behind his back by burying McDonnell and Abbott.

[Eddie Strohacker]

I think anyone who concludes anything other than May gave a remote, robotic performance, reducing her assessment of the electorate to being worthy of only increasingly meaningless sloganeering AND coupled it with a smattering of disastrous policy announcements wants their head felt.

I'm clear on what you originally said, You blamed the election and the opposition's " lies"
on the present state of management of the overspend. When you were asked how
what the opposition said, or didn't say affected the performance of this, you answered with questions. Again.

What is it I'm supposedly claiming?

What high profile promise in the Labour manifesto was admitted to being a lie?

How many votes in the general election did this give the Tories?
