Never Forget These Scoundrels

That is incorrect.

The problem is with the system as a whole - good and decent MPs are emasculated by the dross and scum atop their party.

And they join the other scumbags.
If you can't win against them, join them.
That's what happens in politics.

Since 2010 the number of food banks has risen from 35 to over 1200.

Following an announcement by Cameron that people who fall below their net aren't their responsibility and used to be dealt with by charities. Bring back the work houses maybe?

Some will, and some will retain their morals and backbone, serve their constituents (as best as they can, while being hamstrung overall by their party), and see out their time, forever on the back benches.

Thatchers basically, don’t spend beyond your means

That is now locked into politics which ever of the main parties get to run the country Reform - pass.
Thatcher' main addition was supply side economics and also ending the £ exchange laws. That allowed UK money to go where ever it liked, even entire companies and of course investors. True the exchange laws probably had to go but nothing to try and soften the results.

Then the big sell offs - initially described as the British Experiment. There are all sorts of reasons for her doing that largely relating to the gov's books.

Maybe. Maybe not.

But who put us in the position we are in ? It's certainly worse now than it was when they came to power.

If we stay with this current lot taxes will rise, but with no prospect of any future.

During the last Labour government 40,000 people relied on food banks instead of 3.1 million. People lived half a year longer, and children were taller.

“We’re all in this together,” George Osborne, then chancellor, told the Tory party conference in 2012. Odd, then, that austerity hit disabled people nine times harder and slashed the incomes of the poorest by a tenth, while making no difference to the richest.

14 years of Pain.

"Things can only get better."

Austerity was based upon a typo, but still wasn't reversed.

Supply side economics is popular because people like taxes lowered. Were people less entrepreneurial in the 1960's when top rate tax was £19 s11d in the pound or thereabouts?
 
I think the lowest point in all this is seeing serial bs merchant Doris circumventing parliament and democracy, dragging the Queen into it and desperately forcing through Brexit to please his paymasters. However, he had a very short lifespan at the levers of power, trying to fool all of the people all of the time.
