You clearly have no idea about UK politics.
UK politics is to the left of US politics.
Just like in the US, the UK Tories have fake conservatives. I guess we could call them TINOs.
Also, you do realize that a lot of stuff is devolved, like in Scotland which is run by the SNP, at least for a little bit longer (see current issues).
The Tories came in after the 2007/08 global economic meltdown and they had to deal with covid. Not to mention the flood of illegals.
Labour (UK version of Democrats) were in charge in 2007/08. Rather than keeping people in work and paying taxes, they let businesses go under and people lose their jobs and on welfare. As an English professor, you probably don't know that when everyone is out of work and on welfare, taxes are not pouring in. Labour kept spending but not on getting people back to work.
You should look into the disaster of Labour's "Public-Private Initiative" where the taxpayers paid for buildings to be built, then the government gives the buildings to private corporations, and then the government rents them back.
The city of Brighton did that with their garbage collection. After the contracts were signed, the corp demanded more money, when they were told the contract was the contract, the corp took everything and went back to France. That happened when I lived there.
Maybe you should look into "council housing for life" and how the Tories tried to fix the problem, while LibDems tried to prevent them from fixing it, and how the SNP kept it in Scotland.
You think you know what is going on, but you don't. You only have your hatred of conservatives.
