Political figures and parties in the UK are calling for increased funding for public services in the upcoming Budget, criticizing the Conservative government for underfunding public services, leading to crumbling infrastructure and reduced public investment. They argue that strong public services are crucial in combating rising inequality and improving living standards. The Labour Party and its supporters emphasize the need for change, blaming the Tories for economic recession, declining household incomes, and worsening living standards over the past 14 years.
Before the Tories announce their budget, remember they had 14yrs to leave people better off, but instead created a country where: 💷 Household incomes rose slower than pre-2010 👷🏾 More people are in insecure work 🚑 Our NHS is in crisis 🏠 Home ownership is impossible for many
1) Households set to be £1,900 poorer. 2) First Parliament in which real household disposable incomes have fallen. 3) Tories oversee biggest hit to living standards on record. All because of Tory incompetence and economic mismanagement - precisely why our country needs change. https://t.co/euR4C3K0p5
Our NHS, schools, public transport, justice system, local councils, and social care are all broken after 14yrs of this Tory Government. More than half of people therefore want to see public services prioritised in the budget, but all the Chancellor can talk about is tax cuts. https://t.co/RbwlpNICZx
Under the Tories, we have seen the biggest hit to living standards on record. Families are struggling as a consequence of rocketing bills, sky high food prices, stagnating wages & a economy that has fallen into recession. We need @UKLabour Govt to fix the mess Tories have made https://t.co/09Ir8ElbgO
The Tories have failed Britain for 14 years. It’s time for change. Tell Rishi Sunak to stop running scared and call a #GeneralElectionNow 👇 https://t.co/6rC3RG5tuG
The Tories have failed Britain for 14 years. It’s time for change. It’s time for a general election. Join us in telling Rishi Sunak to stop running scared and set a date, today 👇
The Conservatives have failed the economy and failed working people. Families were better off with the last Labour government, and they'll be better off with the next one. Labour is the party of economic security, we'll grow our economy to put more money in your pocket.
The Government’s dismal record on boosting family finances has been exposed. Figures show that household incomes have risen slower under the Conservatives than when Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were in No10. Time for change with @UKLabour https://t.co/TVtVE954cS
'I'm not dancing in the streets!' Jonathan Ashworth demands May General Election - 'after 14 years it's time for change!' https://t.co/VsrvTtL7jh
The Tories have driven our economy into recession, and you’re paying the price. Families did better with the last Labour government, and they'll be better off with the next one. We'll deliver good jobs, secure homes, and strong communities. https://t.co/dwdiBVp3wa
Last 13 years of Tory Government have left millions struggling to get by. It’s the party that has run our #NHS and other #PublicServices into the ground, raised rates of relative #poverty, and now has led us head first into a #recession. The country desperately needs #change. https://t.co/Vn31XeitK7
Chronic underfunding has led to crumbling public services. Public spending cuts will hit public services. Tax cuts will reduce public investment. People rightly feel strong public services provide a buffer against rising inequality. #Budget
It’s vital that the Chancellor provide extra funding for public services in the Budget. The country simply cannot afford not to invest in its public services. Prioritising politically-driven tax cuts while decimating services is the wrong choice. #Budget https://t.co/YOE2DfbNy8
