You won't find me saying the poverty gap isn't a huge problem. But the widening of the poverty gap in the UK mainly happened in the 1980s, when Labour wasn't in power.
I didn't comment on it because I was talking about poverty.
I think you need to remove the rose tinted spectacles. Labour did little to reverse the Tory devastation of the 80s, which was my point, I think this is why people became so disillusioned in them and so quickly. The reason being that they accepted the Tory fiscal agenda - remember Brown's girlfriend 'prudence'.
