    They might not want those things, but the ‘Captains of industry’ who donated to Labour in 1997 helped deliver those things. And that’s just reality, political or not.

      Pretty sure that Labour didn’t deliver the NHS in 1997. What they did deliver was saddling the NHS with billions in PFI debt that has gone a not inconsiderable distance to putting it into the state it’s in now.

        They delivered the minimum wage in '97, which is what I was asked about, alongside countless other policies which made the country better.
