To a degree I find myself agreeing with
@Pete Burrett .
The Government (irrespective of party) have improved many peoples lot but not everyone`s.
Where my opinion probably differs is that the State should be a safety net, not a career choice, to help people back onto their feet with whatever services they need and properly funded!
For those who still can`t step from support to work I would have Work Fare. Getting up and doing tasks in exchange for a State wage. It would raise peoples well being and purpose over a period of time.
All Charities should have a salary cap for CEO`s directly related to their income & published. Likewise the amount they pay their staff should be equally reflective.
Folk often "blame Boris" for the Bridge debacle but that idea was first floated in 1998 and not ditched (irony!) until 2017..... 19 years of piddling around at great cost.
Sadly there are very many similar projects across the public sector that start & fail.... I hate to think how much is wasted.
Those are the problems that need solving......with clarity and accountability, legally if necessary.
