To me these all feel absolutely fundamental if we are to consider ourselves a civilised society.

It is nonsensical to see it as a giveaway unless you dont pay tax. It is a choice that we have to make, what do we expect/want as a society and what are we willing to pay for it.
Of course you support equal pay, have a funded NHS , wages that allow people to live, good policing, yes fundamental backbone stuff .

It just strikes me the multiple giveaways promises thrown around are simply not fundable just clever sound bite electioneering .

Promising headline stuff which if deployed in all its glory would hurt the very people and serives we should care for is not good , debt and inflation would rise and jobs go is dangerous , and guess who that hurts , perhaps being smarter, with one's money as we were taught as youngsters , is a far better realistic and affordable approach . .
