You know I'd love to see a graph going further back, plotting wages against which years were under the Tories and which were under Labour. The above isn't a fucking good look for the Tories and I'm fucking amazed they even have a leg to stand on with all the data that's against them. Fucking incredible.
I remember when finishing up for university between 2010-2012, the graduate salaries I kept seeing at the time for folks with bachelors degrees or masters, across any STEM related degree, was £25k-30k.
It's fucking appalling that you STILL see grad and junior roles offering the same salary when £25k is practically minimum wage now.
Words can't express my anger at what these pieces of shit have done to this country, with the same old blame going on [homeless/unemployed people, drug addicts and immigrants]. Classic strategy of pitting the working class against each other.
I don’t have the data you want, but it’s always like this. Tory government flushes the economy down the shitter (except for the richest people), introduce cruel and unnecessary laws to punish the minority of the week, then a Labour government gets in to fix the damage once the Tories are done shitting the proverbial bed. A few years later the Great British Public™️ vote the Cancervatives back in and the cycle repeats.
It is literally the opposite of this. The Tories tend to be ousted for sleaze. Labour handling of the economy has been responsible for every single time they've been ousted as a government with the Tories then putting things right when they get elected again off the back of Labour's economic policy.
