@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. 😡

Report found #NorthSea & #CelticSea cod, #IrishSea whiting, Irish Sea herring and North Sea and east #EnglishChannel horse mackerel at critically low levels, yet continued to be overfished.
