    I know little to nothing of uk politics. But maybe to build new stuff and fund NHS in general maybe they should raise taxes? Only conservatives are allowed to use the “economy is gonna grow for sure trust me bro” line

      The conservatives have been raising the tax burden quite significantly the past few years, and it’s a big part of their support exploding. Probably there does need to be an increase, but labours approach had been to say they’ll go after people avoiding their fair share first which seems to be generally popular.
