While labour had their faults at least they were more understanding towards our public services. Not this, awarding of contracts to mates that’s what happened while people were getting done by covid. Starmer doesn’t fill me with any confidence but at least he has integrity.
They would spend more on public services because they were in power during an era when they could spend more on public services.

Have a look at public spending since Tories were in power. Miles more than Labour before them (excluding 2008/9). You won’t see the benefits of it because it’s not spent on public services or making the country a better place for citizens.

It’s keeping the economy from collapse. It’s spent on welfare, infrastructure, pension, debt repayments etc..

Public service spending does little for the economy…and if your economy is f*cked you have no money for public services. It’s painful but tell me an alternative?
