Well I ran a UK business under the Blair government and
(at least from my experience) they were uber business friendly.
Post GFC everything changed.
In retrospective, what's happened is the cutting back on government infrastructure investment from 2010 has had a pernicious long tail effect.
I won't get in to the B debate, it is though one reason why taxaction is higher than it would otherwise be - loss of revenue.
Then COVID hit, coupled with ugly demographics - more people living in ill health for longer placing increasing demands on the NHS.
There are no easy Fantasyland solutions.
