Put the items in your preferred order.
Lib Dem Tuition Fees U-turn
Nick Clegg signed a pledge to scrap tuition fees, then tripled them in coalition. An entire generation of students has never forgiven him, and the Lib Dems are still paying for it.
Brexit's Β£350 Million NHS Bus
Vote Leave promised Β£350m a week for the NHS painted on the side of a big red bus. Waiting lists have since ballooned, and that money is nowhere to be seen.
Cameron's 'No Top-Down NHS Reorganisation'
David Cameron promised no more pointless NHS restructures, then unleashed the biggest reorganisation in its history. Doctors are still trying to untangle the mess.
'Read My Lips' Tax Pledges
Every Chancellor swears blind they won't raise taxes, then the tax burden hits a 70-year high. National Insurance fiddles don't fool anyone anymore.
Starmer's Β£28bn Green Pledge
Labour's flagship Β£28 billion green investment plan was quietly binned before the election even started. So much for the bold new dawn of climate leadership.
