As far as economy goes, the recovery is despite the government. There wasn't one policy from Labour you could attribute to economic recovery. Money printing around the world and low rates are the drivers.
And yes - government, which was voted in 2017 elections on basis of solving housing crisis, and didn't do anything about housing for 4 years should be blamed for the lack of action. Funny how you conveniently forget the promise of 100 000 new affordable homes being built.
