The Conservatives broke the economy over 14 years.
Interpreted asmetaphor
The Conservatives seriously damaged the economy over 14 years.
The operative reading— that the Conservatives seriously damaged the economy over 14 years—evaluates the quality and performance of their economic governance. Although “damaged” implies a negative effect, the claim does not specify a determinate causal outcome that can be objectively tested, so it is an evaluative judgement.

From speech
Forgive me if I do not take too much notice of the Leader of the Opposition. For 14 years they broke our welfare system, lost control of our borders, presided over the biggest fall in living standards on record, and broke the economy, prisons and the NHS—I could go on and on. No wonder she and the Conservatives are totally irrelevant. This Labour Government are delivering change. The biggest upgrade in workers’ rights in a generation—delivered. The Renters’ Rights Act 2026—delivered. Record funding for our NHS—delivered. The fastest growing economy in the G7—delivered. Lifting half a million children out of poverty—delivered. We are going to fight even harder for working people and a stronger and fairer Britain.
