Sure lots of these have real numbers also
1) Getting Brexit done by leaving the EU on January 31 2020, fulfilling our promise to the British people. We are also introducing a new points-based immigration system, taking back control of our borders while continuing to attract the brightest and best to the UK.
2) Delivering the biggest cash boost in history for the NHS and enshrining that increase in law, to safeguard it for future generations. We are investing an additional £33.9 billion in frontline NHS services every year by 2023-24, the largest and longest funding settlement in the history of the NHS. We have also provided the NHS with the funding it needs to tackle coronavirus–with an extra £31.9 billion for health services in our immediate response to coronavirus.
3) Giving the police the resources they need by recruiting 20,000 additional police officers, while providing the police the biggest increase in funding for a decade. We are providing the police with an extra £1.1 billion this year, to help kick start the recruitment of 20,000 extra police officers, the first 3,000 of which have already been hired.
4) Helping people with the cost of living by introducing the National Living Wage and increasing it to record levels to end low pay. When we introduced the NLW in 2016, it meant an immediate pay rise for 4.5 million people. In April 2020, we provided the largest ever cash boost to the NLW, to £8.72–a 50 per cent increase for over25s since 2010. Our manifesto commits to going further: we will increase the NLW to two-thirds of average earnings by 2024, which is currently forecast at £10.50. We have also helped people with the cost of living by cutting stamp duty for 95 per cent of first-time buyers, saving people up to £5,000.
5) Becoming one of the first countries in the world to introduce a legally binding target of Net Zero emissions by 2050, and reducing greenhouse emissions by 28 per cent. We have reduced greenhouse gases by 28 per cent since coming to office in 2010. And we plan to go further to deliver green growth, for example by upgrading the energy efficiency of homes across England through a new £2 billion Green Homes Grant, and by doubling our International Climate Finance funding to £11.6 billion over the next five years
6) Putting our public finances on a strong footing so that we can supply the support that is needed during coronavirus. Because we have had a prudent, sensible, one nation Conservative party in power over the past 10years, we were able to reduce the deficit left by Labour–which means now we can focus on putting our arms around the people of this country, for example through our £190 billion package of economic support to protect people's jobs and livelihoods
7) Boosting funding in our primary and secondary schools by £14 billion over the next three years, so that every child can get a good education. We are increasing the schools budget by £2.6 billion in 2020-21, £4.8billion in 2021-22 and £7.1 billion in 2022-23, compared to 2019-20. This will bring the schools budget up to a record£52.2 billion. We will also transform schools in every region of the country, starting with a new £1 billion investment, the first part of our ambitious 10-year plan to invest in rebuilding schools across England.
8) Launching a Lifetime Skills Guarantee so that people can get the skills they need at every stage of their life–meaning they can retrain and find new, well-paid jobs to Build Back Better. Our Lifetime Skills Guarantee will provide adults in England without an A-Level or equivalent qualifications from April the opportunity to take up a free, fully-funded college course. We are also making higher education loans more flexible, so people can space out their study across their lifetime and take more high-quality vocational courses
9) Launching a £3.6 billion Towns Fund to ensure prosperity and opportunities are available to everyone, not just those in London or our biggest cities. The funding will support an initial 100 towns by improving both transport and digital infrastructure, driving local growth and raising living standards.
10) Investing record amounts–triple the average over the last 40 years–to build the railways and roads of the future. £640 billion of capital investment will be invested in roads, railways, communications, schools, hospitals and power networks. Over the Parliament, public sector net investment will be triple the average public sector net investment over the last 40 years. We are also investing£5 billion to deliver gigabit broadband across the country, so that no community is left behind

I can't be bothered no matter what I'll put you'll just comeback with another question and another question
I could also query the source and the accuracy of the information you provided on labour but you'll argue that till I fall asleep.
The facts speak for themselves for labour. poor leadership and clearly the majority of voters in the uk get that and hence we have a conservative government.
Sadly the only thing I remember for labour is when in power because of their left wing attitude the amount of Asian grooming gangs which blighted our nation and ruined countless lifes and decades later under conservative leadership this was all exposed... but we've already had a thread on that one - correct ?
Where's ocelot sure he's penning a reply right now

1) brexit is still a shambles, and there are still people crossing over on boats, which you arent happy about.
2) giving a cash boost doesnt help after being underfunded for years.
3) police still underfunded and under resourced.
4) my football club bought in the living wage before the government did.
5) wasnt the first.
6) used Corbyns magic money tree
7) as per answer 2
8) pretty much a labour idea.
8) the majority of funds went to tory constituencies.
9 as per answer 2.
Nice copy and paste though

I watched the big Brexit cheese Farage's interview with the Telegraph a few days ago. Strangely at that bastion of right wing Toryism Telegraph Towers
Your point 1. Hes adamant it's has been absolutely fooked up.
To all your other points he's pretty clear, he despises what the Tories have become after admitting helping them win big in 2019.
Hoping they lose and get wiped out in 2024 for the good of the country.
Funny old world....

That's right. I'll continue to question made up, unverified nonsense that in the most part hasn't even happened yet (most of those reference future dates and the first one is about Brexit, which as everyone knows, isn't "done"), and why shouldn't I?
Do you understand what Full-Fact is? It was set up by a Conservative donor and is non-partisan. There's nothing there nor in the link that I provided that has not been 100% verified, so you're entirely incorrect. You stated that you "couldn't remember" what Labour have done, and it's now there in black and white, jogging your memory.
You're entirely correct that the facts do indeed speak for themselves; I have posted several, and you have posted none.
