• It's nonsense that Labour and Conservative are even remotely similar.

    Even if they said and went for the exact same things in their manifestos the method they took to get there would yield wildly different realities.

    The Tories are instituitionally cruel.

    I agree that if you are an ex-Nissan worker in Sunderland in 2022 then you are better off with a Labour government attempting to look after you than a Tory one.

    But you're still unemployed due to Nissan pulling out because the government pursued the hardest possible Brexit at all costs - and there Labour and the Tories interchange.

    I would imagine that the Sunderland resident in question would prefer to be employed, rather than testing the welfare state of whichever government put them on the dole in the first place.

    That goes without saying. But even if you want to argue both parties are the same on whether these people keep their job or not, they will still definitely be better off under Labour policies once they are unemployed, regarding benefits etc.
