Note that it's ABOVE inflation every year, under any colour of government. Definitely no cutbacks or shortages, just ever-rising waste.Rise in government spending above inflation was much higher under Labour

I was referring to healthcare specifically.
Why do you have to bring the EU into every discussion.
Do you really believe that things would be any different if the UK had remained in the EU.
Now that Britain (not the UK) is out of the EU, the government at Westminster can no longer blame the EU for its failures.
I would think you would welcome that.
non sequitur.
increases in NHS costs are not due to ”just ever rising waste.
it’s due to:
non stop development of healthcare….more technology, more knowledge = longer lifespan and greater costs of clinical procedures
population increase
rise in lifestyle disease, esp diabetes
bed blocking due to loss of public services / social care / care homes / community care.
What percentage of people on benefits do you think aren’t genuine?
how many do you think are “benefit scroungers”

Like I said, it used to be rising, until about 2010, and has been pretty flat since. Glad to see you agree with me.
But because the population has been getting increasingly old, demand has increased because old people need more care.
So supply falls increasingly short of demand.
No doubt you will come to understand, one day.

A lazy trope.
There isn’t any difference between how well or badly either party have managed the economy over the last 50 years.
I'm not disagreeing with you Notch, but.......
......why then has this trope not been put to bed by Labour years ago?
That's as much a failing of theirs, as it it the laziness of the electorate.
I don't think the Labour party has any control over the Tory mass media.
Nor over people like Farty.

Already addressed, but to repeat I'd estimate one in five hundred sickness benefit claimants to be genuine, the rest not.
Also, there is more to benefit fraud than sickness / out-of-work benefits. Child benefit is much abused, especially where a child is sick, or more likely fraudulently declared sick for the purpose of claiming benefit money. I know you don't believe that this goes on, because you haven't had personal experience of it in your sleepy hollow midsummer murders village. Many peoples' entire existence is based on benefit fraud, and the main reason for the "immigration crisis" is foreigners coming here to abuse the benefits system.
Some folk invent children in order to claim benefit money for them. Can you believe it?
Man defrauded benefit system out of £1.7million with claims for 188 made-up kids
Ali Bana Mohamed used relatives and others to assist in the scam which involved submitting bogus child benefit claims in about 70 different names

thats certainly a valid question.
I think it is because politics is very tribal and it tends to be framed as: “Labour are raving socialists spending all our money on growing the state.“
Perhaps we should ask Andy11
