It’s not true. It wasn’t just Osborne + Tory press. Focus groups around 2010 were full of public servants describing waste. Stories of hundred mile taxi journeys instead of trains in the NHS; PFI inefficiencies in schools; etc. Those stories don’t exist now. Teachers now are rationing pencils. 2/x
Osborne didn’t make it up - after 1999, Lab met every problem with more money (often + reform). Budgers were looser in the public sector and there was waste people could touch.
