This is what happens when you vote Tory. What happens when greed, selfishness and evil get their way.
Stop putting posh rich evil cunts in positions of power.
The aim is to public services to the point where they can be removed or handed to the private sector (who will focus on profit rather than service, esp as regulators will be made deliberately toothless.
In the case of the NHS, the policy is via changing doctors pension rules, freezing nurses pay, the 2012 Health and Social Care Act, chronic understaffing – and all of this is just to create plausible deniability.
These policies will continue as long as the British Public hate immigration more than they love the NHS and as long as they hate “scroungers” more than they support a social security system that allows people in need to live in dignity.
i.e. so long as the British public keeps on electing Conservative governments.
The two parties are not the same.
It is a sharp contrast between the opulent pageantry of the Queen’s funeral and those freezing and starving in the Kingdom.
The UK is still a wealthy nation, and this cruel inequality is the result of political choices both now and in the past. It is very apparent that these political choices are splintering the country, the ‘united’ bit of the ‘United Kingdom’ is no more.
A very unfortunate way to memorialise, the longest serving Queen’s passing..
We definitely need to have a discussion whether the state can really just keep supporting people with no value to a modern economy.
Under the tories people always struggle to live. Austerity, brexit, the pandemic and putins illegal invasion of Ukraine have all resulted in the perfect storm.
The bstards have cut this country to the bone, they can’t blame migrants or those on benefits anymore, they have no one left to blame, they know the games up.
The next government have a hell of a challenge cleaning up the damage the tories have left behind.
A lot is about education. Ignoring the cause of this but dealing with the output. Do most know how to cook meals with fresh produce, instead of buying oven meals/food?
I worked in a supermarket for 16/17 years pay went up less than £2 an hour in that time .
That is literally what people voted for. Cameron was all about austerity, and this is what a decade of austerity feels like.
I’ve recently experienced private care for my mother, top of the range cars in car park, little care inside, the tories and blue Labour have fucked this country and will continue to do so.
Put politicians on the stake and enjoy them screaming like babies
It’s been a lost ten years, the press can no long hide how bad it is, yet the left are still pandering to the money men. How can I trust Starmer and his bunch, they represent continuous, I worry they will stain the left like Blaire did. I will vote however for anyone other than the tories.
Tory response?
“We need to fund our Christmas parties from the public pocket.”
Idk why people are being down votes for saying tory and labour messed up the country. They are right
This subreddit is pro labor which is fine but doesn’t warrant the downvoting of opinions.
Labour hasn’t been great either but certainly better than what the tory government is doing. But one thing I agree on would be nationalizing our services

And the Tories are laughing all the way to bank.

‘[Starve the Beast](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starve_the_beast)’ is the name of this strategy.

“historically brief Liz Truss”
Brilliant.
