In the same way that the Tories try to scare us by talking up the crime rate. Crime has fallen by 47% since 1995.
As for this, Labour have delivery commitments on health and education which the Tories have promised to maintain. If you don't put the money in, something has to stop happening and that will mean cuts to services. Don't buy into this 'cutting back on waste and bureaucracy' cobblers either, it won't happen.
They will also (by their own estimates) remove £1.2 billion from the NHS through their policy of subsidising private patients and a similar amount from the state school system.
However, Guido is right about that inane oversimplification about cutting all doctors, nurses and teachers. People don't believe that the Tories would do that, so the comparison is silly.

He was an ultra-wet Tory who hated Thatcher and was despised by Thatcherites so much that he left the party.

Damn. If the Tories were really planning to cut spending by £35bn, I would vote for them.
