Why does this country need Tory anything? I keep on hearing socialism’s failed and maybe it has, but it’s capitalism and deregulation that is responsible for what’s gone wrong since 2008.

:) So nothing to do with Gordon Brown from 1997-2010 with his "light touch on the tiller" of financial regulations then ?. Nothing to do with PFI scheme's either that were kept off the books, when in reality meant hospitals cost three times the price to build.

Sounds like you have gone to Spec savers and bought a pair of rose tinted glasses.

No, not if it means that capitalism and deregulation is excluded - if you want to make Labour solely responsible for 2008, then you have to accept that the Tories are responsible for all of the cost of living crisis. The Tories can talk, with some justification, of other worldwide factors contributing to the cost of living crisis and it’s only right that Labour can say the same when it comes to 2008 although, in both cases, the Government of the day have to accept their share of responsibility for what happened.
