The past 12 years of Tory Government have seen countless lows and almost no highs. The Cameron/Osborne years were marked by ministers revelling in taking money off the poor.
They implemented nasty policies like the bedroom tax and pushed through a benefits cap that caused misery. Theresa May’s hapless administration was dominated by Brexit melodrama and never got off the ground.
And Boris Johnson’s ill-fated period as PM was so disastrous it still feels like a bad dream. Yesterday’s mini-budget, necessitated by Liz Truss becoming the latest inhabitant of No10, was the lowest point since 2010.
