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.
I just can't agree with you here. Take a look at the food bank increase in 2015, before Brexit and way before the pandemic. One of the Government's roles is to provide a positive stimulus to the economy. I'm not saying the Tories are fully at fault, but there's no doubt they have contributed towards this cost of living crisis we find ourselves in by driving us towards a ridiculous Brexit for their own ends, not investing in business or business growth, and spaffing money up the wall.

So whilst yes we would have had increased inflation because of market conditions had another Government in place, the Tories have contributed to further worsening our economic position with their terrible economic policies.

Its okay though because there's no one else, apparently.
