Blair was elected a Labour PM so like it or not it was a Labour government. https://www.theguardian.com/po A FURTHER 55 billion, on top of how much? That's just interest too which could have been spent on patient care. |  |

That in itself is a disgrace. China and Japan own about 2 trillion of USA debt between them. Japan is about 11 trillion in debt, China is about 5 trillion in debt (both in US dollars) so basically it seems like every country is in debt to another country or countries.. Doesn't that seem ridiculous? |  |

| Labour started the privatisation of the NHS 14 years ago on 17:12 - May 3 by Best_loser | Yes I do And you obviously don't like that fact about your beloved tory party, so I'm repeat it just for you 2 trillion in debt Over twice what it was when Cameron took over |
No I don't think you do. Until the government reduces the deficit sufficiently, and eventually turns it into a surplus, the debt goes up. I have a credit card on which I've built up £10K debt, say, because I've spent more than I can afford. You then take over my credit card. You spend £1K every month and have £1K spare from your income to pay the credit card bill - because you're quite prudent. However, due to interest on the debt, you now owe £11K, say. Is it your fault that the debt has gone up? And, BTW, I have no affiliation to any particular party. Over the years I've voted for most of them (except the LibDems, obvs). |  | |  |

Btw the national debt doesn't just increase because of added interest, it's increased borrowing too The national debt is 2 trillion, twice what is was in 2010 You have not disputed that Read some books instead of the daily mail I can't help you if you dont And that website confirms the number Thanks [Post edited 3 May 2020 18:59]

If youre looking at actuals, you are correct. It has doubled in the last 10 years under the Tories. But dont forget there are two others important points and that is debt as a % of GDP, which in turn is related to the perceived ability of a country to pay the bills if you like. Thats stayed relatively stable at C.84%. Bit Covid is gonna screw that up completely. Same as any other country really. As a comparable, France is in a worse position than us. Germany significantly better. All that will be shaken up this year tho imo |  |

The national debt is rising because we have to borrow because of the deficit, I'm not quite sure you're grasping it? If we weren't in deficit, that is, we raised more money than we spent then the debt would come down. The one exists because of the other....how many ways can it be explained? |  |

I don't care about up arrows on my posts but I'm going to up arrow anyone else's when I notice a Mart6 down arrow. There doesn't seem to be any logic to some of his choices, like it's 2 different people. Unless he's a split personality! Perhaps he's mart3+3? |  |

That's bleeding obvious I'm just pointing out that since 2010 this fact alone shows the Tories hadn't performed some kind of economic miracle like they claim they have |  | |  |

The deficit was coming down though. In that timr the debt had to rise because we still had deficit. There is no economic miracle, no. Now we have Covid-19, any hopes of slashing the defiicit and then the debt have vanished. It won't just be us who's up schit creek without a paddle either, everyone is going to be in a mess. |  |

The only good news is interest rates will have to stay low |  | |  |
| Labour started the privatisation of the NHS 14 years ago on 20:43 - May 3 with 628 views | longlostjack | Yes. Property prices will also fall so housing may be more affordable for people who are in a position to buy. Rents will have to fall too. |  |

NHS budgets have increased by more than inflation in every year under the conservatives. How is that less investment? You never fail to promote your anti British hatred. |  |

Don’t worry about the national debt, we can just sell off all our gold reserves to fund stuff, oh hang in, Brown already did that back in 2007 so scrap that idea.😂 |  | |  |

Yes he did, and he used the money in schools and hospitals Even if he had sold that gold later at a higher price It would have given us 15 billion Think about how small a dent 15 billion would make on the gigantic tory government national debt of 2 trillion |  | |  |
