New data from the Office for National Statistics shows that the poorest 10% of households in the UK are still paying a higher proportion of their income in tax than the richest.
Ah you’re not even from the UK. I’m not sure what the quality of life is like in Mississippi (however you want to measure it) but it’s not terrible here outside of London.
I don’t have data on hand but from my own experience I can tell you that we do not have an awful quality of life generally speaking, nor do I personally know anyone who is having a terrible quality of life in terms of their buying power and ability to support themselves. I’m able to support my family without issue on my wage.
People are generally struggling a bit more since inflation has taken hold over the last year or so, and there are reports of more people needing to use food banks etc - which is horrific - and there are big issues around home ownership. However it’s certainly not that case that the majority of people are in abject poverty.
Personally I’d hate to live in London - it attracts money and it has great public transport, but to me it doesn’t feel like a great place to live in many ways and everything is so much more expensive there.
Yes the NHS has been ruined by lack of investment from previous governments, but it is due to get big investments from the new government, so fingers crossed.
