Just look at the stark difference in numbers from 2010 to now. We are much more unequal society now than we were then.
I do feel like you don’t consider external forces in your evaluation of the tories. Like they are fully responsible for food and petrol price increases or the national debt caused by the market crashes in response to but not caused by the Tories BTW.

This government is shocking in some areas but overall the tories have had to clean up a lot of mess from external forces that Labour never had to deal with. Its stupid to think we’d have all been dancing in the street if Labour remained in power post 2008.

Food banks are welfare in response to the current economic crisis.
