PETER (“who needs guards on trains”) Rickaby castigates my weak argument (Letters, November 28).

He is correct: if Labour win it would cost billions to undo all the failures of this present Government.

Restoring 20,000 police, 10,000 firemen, thousands of nurses, care workers, mental health specialists, plus prisons, armed forces, councils on the brink, thousands of rural bus services gone.

Council care homes slashed, nationalising UK railways, which are 80 per cent foreign owned and treat passengers with utter contempt under failing Grayling, road repairs in a desperate state.

Rising, however, are homelessness, food banks, knife crime, prisons totally out of control.

Then an arrogant PM costing taxpayers a £20 billion ‘bribe’ to get the DUP to rectify her stupidity.

Under this sensible/economic (?) Government the national debt has soared to £555 billion.

Our reader will be first in the queue to shout the loudest to castigate Labour after five years for trying to undo years of hurt (to the poorest).

Maybe he would prefer another five years of Tory cuts until there is nothing is left to cut?
