That's my observation anyway!
It would be a potentially valid observation if your posting history wasn't littered with examples of you deflecting and whatabouting every time a new Tory scandal hit during their time in government.

Here is one about another former chancellor, slightly worse than reeves stretching the truth on social media imo, but maybe not in your estimation..

The evidence seems to suggest:

Tory scandal - deflect, 'they are all at it'

Labour scandal - 'why would she lie, does she think lying as the chancellor is okay??'

People in glass houses and all that. Also just to preempt your 'its flattering that you would trawl through my post history teehee' response, it's like shooting fish in a barrel, took about 2 mins.
