Concentration of power by corporations and government quangos means Brits. have a poorer standard of living compared to ten years ago.
In the UK, since leaving the EU, ordinary people's lives have altered massively.
Everything we took for granted from availability of fresh food to the world of personal banking has been shot to bits since we came out.
Basically because Boris decided a no deal Brexit was the way to go.
Add to that the numbers of people requiring medical attention or specialist educational placement has ballooned as various incarnations of government has refused to settle legitimate pay claims over the same period of time in order to try and save the taxpayers money.
We've always paid too much tax for things like petrol; booze and tobacco.
They're government favoured budget hikes rather than increase the income tax which would affect votes.
On top of this you can add too many companies not increasing pay sufficiently over the same time period.
Then once covid hit many sought to change terms and conditions of employment for many employees. Rendering their jobs unaffordable.
Construction of social housing has stopped.
Presumably because government now wants children to move back in with aging parents thereby reducing the care expense.

We pay more tax on those things in Norway and the poor are still better off than in the UK.

@ninalanyon Britain has lots of problems.
Many based on decisions made decades ago by either Crown or government in regards to it's discoveries within it's own waters.
But mostly because our government wants no responsibility for it's own people.
That's how you get leaders like Thatcher or Blair and the fallout from those kinds of decision makers is that you isolate the very people you rely on a vote from
