@benedictevans Presumably people generally understand this as cuts to specific services, also related to demographics and population
@tomcoates @BenedictEvans: real $/£ vs % GDP is the Conservatives favourite way to obscure (in both the US and UK)
@slightlylate @tomcoates and % GDP instead of real $/£ is the left's favourite way to obscure ;) Do remember what 'cut' means
@BenedictEvans @tomcoates: uhhhh...most social spending in reasonable policy terms is inflation indexed and proportionate to population/GDP
@slightlylate @tomcoates and saying 'we're 3x richer and spending 2x more' is not any normal person's idea of a cut in spending.
@BenedictEvans @tomcoates: hence per-capita usually cited, not real £/$.
Even if you're on point, your chart wasn't.
@slightlylate @tomcoates I don't have UK population in the sheet, but I'm pretty sure it didn't rise 10x over that period. So...
@BenedictEvans @tomcoates: totally fair! But that's the honest basis for discussion wherein your point would land more solidly.
