helen, you disagree with clive lewis. mp then, there was massive investment in public services was that we had a new further education college, and we did all the social housing an entire constituency i got inward investment will stop it simply not true to say there has been a 40 year decline. i think clive is buying in totally to the tory narrative. because there has been a decline in the last ten years and people found it difficult to throw their minds back to remember the positive things that had happened when we had a labour government. i think to simply blame this on austerity is wrong. when you look at the state...” didn't say that. you have said the la st didn't say that. you have said the last ten years is a big part of why this has happened, and it has been going on since 1980. this has happened, and it has been going on since1980. the deindustrialisation that took place in the 19805 has deindu5triali5ation that took place in the 19805 has never been rectified to stop new labour put a 5ticking pla5ter over a gapi
