  1. Post 1990 and especially since 1997, we have had successive socialist governments that have expanded the welfare state. We now have a class of people who choose not to work. More correctly make it their job to maximise their income from the state while giving nothing back. Call me a right wing nutter but go to any of the “rough” areas and you’ll see exactly what I mean. Covid and the furlough (money for nothing for everyone) has totally screwed the national finances. There was no effort to evaluate the benefits or the costs. One big cost is even more people being economically useless (sorry) inactive. This state giveaway is a big part of why so many migrants cross the Channel. They see it as a pot of honey. It’s not of course but it’s too late by then. UK left EU but then did nothing significant to capitalise on the advantages. Huge swathes of clumsy regulations could have been dumped. The Tories did nothing. Labour will simply add to those regulations.
