The resonse from government to all these issues does seem to be we have invested in these services, so perhaps the question that needs to be asked is how is every penny of that being spent. As we saw in the Lucy letby case, the Manager who failed was given a huge pay off, we NEED to stop rewarding failure for a start.
Yesterday 6/9/2023, a prisoner escaped from a prison, the BBC had someone on today 7/9/2023 that was high up in the prison officer circles and he wasn't holding back on saying how understaffed prisons are and how hard it is to retain staff and why.
He was blaming cuts made during Tory Austeirity and many other things.
Current investment is simply replacing the money that was cut years ago. But it also seems it is not taking in to account rises in costs since thast time a 4 million £ investment 10 years ago, will clearly not buy the same about today.
The sonner we get an election the better, two by-elections coming up that are in seats with a huge tory majority, if they get overturned then the PMs and party grip on power has to be seen as untenable, and they are going to have to call an early election, knowing they face being wiped out at the next election anyway.
