Can anyone explain to me how we got to the situation where the tax burden is at the highest level for 70 years but our public services are in such a shocking state?
The NHS is a black hole for money, councils going bust left, right and centre, the judicial system creaking, armed forces now barely up to the job of defending the country etc etc. So where's the money going?? Covid must be partially to blame. However, the Tories seem to get off very light for imposing austerity but still squeezing ordinary folks hard (not their corporate and billionaire mates though, obviously).
