Claire McNab@christineburns Amongst the many #BigLies that dominate #UKpol, the lie of Tory economic competence is one of the biggest. They thew away the #NorthSea oil/gas bonanza, asset-stripped the public sector, created a huge infrastructure backlog, and destroyed swathes of communities.
None of it was caused by honest misjudgement or by unforeseen circumstances. It was all known and planned.
It's a crime as devastating as treason, committed publicly. Yet its barely acknowledged. 😡
