How can the Tories talk about sorting out the economy, when we are borrowing more than ever?

So we have the Tory's harping on about the new jobs that have been created.

They wax lyrical about how they are bringing the economy into line.

Yet as announced today, they have borrowed more this Month than last year, our actual debt is catapulting towards £1.4 Trillion.

These things are not compatible. More in work should mean more tax revenue, but the revenue is not going up. Why, simple, low and compressed wages, people earning less than the amount needed to qualify to pay tax. That is why, not just immigrants although they are in large numbers and of course with low wages comes higher benefit requirements.

When will people understand that the Tory plan is all smoke and mirrors, they have already borrowed more in less than 5 years than Labour did in 13 and it is only getting worse.

    Labour were useless and their plans for us after May 2015 are just as dodgy, the Wonga method of managing your finances.

    The Tory party are out of control with their borrowing and are using it to prop up claims that things are going well, when in fact we are spiralling into debt that is beyond anything we have ever seen before.

    The Lib Dems have not got a clue

    The Greens would destroy us with their happy happy plans.

    Of course there has to be more borrowing to pay the interest on what Labour borrowed. Why are you answering your own question?
