Sadly, like the rest of Tory broken Britain, we’ve seen the collapse in our public services. NHS waiting lists grow by the day, the roads are potholed, sewage is pumped into the rivers and sea, police are overwhelmed and prisons are so full court cases are being delayed because there is no room for the guilty to be jailed.
