I would love to see evidence for a large rise in living standards under a Labour Administration.. You can prove me wrong but, in hindsight, all I recall now are high interest rates, high unemployment and high inflation even though at the time I was a huge admirer of Harold Wilson, Denis Healey, Crossman and even Jim Callaghan. Looking back I think my admiration may have been misplaced.
