UK Faces Mounting Economic Woes Under Conservative Rule
• The Conservatives have failed to eliminate the budget deficit since 2010, with national debt now at its highest level since the 1960s • NHS waiting lists have soared, hitting record highs even before the pandemic, due to underinvestment • Economic growth has been historically weak over the past 14 years amid austerity, Brexit fallout, and political instability • Taxes are set to reach their highest level since WW2 to fill gap left by weak growth and higher spending • Real wages have suffered 15 years of lost growth, costing the average worker over £10,000 per year
