Make your mind up. Labour backed most of the measures related to Covid and the war but notably voted against the will of the British people all the time during Brexit.
You’re the one applying one set of rules for Labour and another for the Conservatives - blaming Labour for the worldwide crash in 2008 is ludicrous. All I’ve said about the current crisis is that we seem to suffering more than many comparable countries to us. None of what you say addresses my point that the Conservatives and Lib Dems backed the measures taken by Labour fourteen years ago.
