The Tories really do know how to look after everyone don’t they…
I would argue that is too simplistic a reasoning – although I do think they have contributed to some of the most vulnerable suffering more. Let us not forget how much of a screwed up, debt laden economy we have that does not make enough things, doesn’t export enough, relies on all sorts of subsidies, deals and odd-ball ways of doing things at a macro and micro level.
Inequality is rife in this country.
This. And this is where Tory policy still supports their best mates and big business above other issues.
I still maintain that one of the best things we could do as a country is move the investment and development focus further north. The SE benefits from the London Gravity, at the cost of other areas. Housing would be cheaper, jobs would be more spread, travel less strained, public services spread out etc
