While right of center labour are far from huge in social investment.
If you worked during that time. Its gotta be pretty hard not to see how much better taxes were handled.
The NHS hugly improved after tories destruction before and dropped much much worse again under the tories since.
Same goes for the welfare safty net. Can’t say I love all that. As I feel working families should earn a wage that allows them to survive. And the net should be there for those that cannot. But under labour low income families had a much more reliable safty net to ensure childhood poverty was reduced. The tories destroyed it. To the point that it changed from hard to rent privately on that safty net. To close tonimpossible for huge parts of the nation.
And all of this sounds not so awful. If you think. OK but they are spending less of our money.
Except they are not. Pretty much every austerity measure has ended up costing them or you more. There inflation adjusted spending is higher.
This is a 4% cut on ni. Making up for what. How much more rent are you paying. Vat transport. Water, food.
What ever way you look at it. You are getting less for your money. The government inflation adjusted tota, spendingbis higher. And they have hugly moved taxation from those benifiting/profiting from that spending. To the working people they have removed the services from.
You question ma,es me ask your age.
