    More interested in building prisons than schools and hospitals. They’re showing us who they are.

      Carrots and sticks.
      The carrots society expects are under-provided, so removal can’t be used as a persuader.
      So we end up spending money on more sticks.

      If they announced they were building new schools and hospitals, someone would quite rightly point out the dire prison situation and complain that Labour isn’t taking governance seriously.

      Comments like yours are proof that Labour just can’t do anything without moaning and resistance from Joe Public. This is yet another Tory catastrophe that Labour are forced to deal with.

        Sorry, no, let’s not pretend that this is a Tory issue. RAAC’s fatal flaw has been understood since the late 1980s. Labour had 13 years pretending to be for the NHS and Education x3. Did they rebuild the flawed schools and hospitals? Fuck did they. All UK governments have been a useless shower.
