Not only that but also energy companies and supermarkets making massive profits while many people are struggling with the cost of living and the Tories have just let them get away fleecing the public. Water companies are polluting our water and then say they need to put our bills up to sort it our while paying out huge dividends to shareholders and the Tories are doing nothing about it. People can see the blatant corruption and that they don't care about the interests of the public and we're fed up of it.

Personally, I'd happily take a slight tax increase if we could actually see the benefits and got our public services on the same standard as they was before the Tories ruined them. The Tories are obsessed with tax cuts but cut tax or good functional public services, you just can't have both.
