13% inflation

[WTFH]

OK, ignore the argument, stick to tired, Spectator-inspired rhetoric and ancient chimeras like selling the NHs to the Americans. Any idea just how foolish that sounds?

High taxation to fund high public spending on large infrastructure projects is pure socialist thinking. The Conservative way is to enable private enterprise to do it for you - and not by using Blair's idiotic PFI mechanisms. After all, it worked for the Victorians.

Enjoy your little world. It seems nice.

So, zero suggestions, and again you mistake Bliar for the Tory party - not the first time in your case.

This government has increased the tax burden, but has not used it to fund higher public spending. If it did, then we'd have 40 new hospitals, a full HS2, etc. But no, they have increased taxes and REDUCED public spending.
