The slogan for this week’s Labour conference in Manchester is “Rebuilding Britain”. Is this supposed to be a joke? After all, this is the party that squandered a golden economic legacy during its 13 years in office, leaving the country deeper in debt than at any time in its history? This is the same Labour Party that sold our gold reserves at rock bottom prices, wrecked one of the world’s best private pension systems, encouraged record levels of immigration and presided over a reckless and self-serving expansion of the public sector.
