People voted New Labour because they sad they would do most of both and because Tony was slick.

Once in they do what they can get away with.
Given the incumbent government has collected more in taxes than any government previously, in both real terms and as a percentage of national income, we can put to bed the myth the Tories are the party of low taxation.

And to be clear, I am referring to normal times, and not during any war or just after.
