I was going to do a long answer to this but suffice to say, reread jogills' answer.The demand has been caused by the population explosion during the Labour years.
1990 57 million
2021 67 million
It’s quite obvious that services would suffer, all of them.
Had the Tories not been obsessed with ‘austerity’ the problem could have been less severe but the elephant in the room was uncontrolled immigration .
Blair has that to answer to.
We now need a massive expansion of all services which the average guy doesn’t want to pay for.

Perhaps, with your 'logic' if we went back to the pre war population of about 36m we would have no problems in health funding or housing shortage. Oh, hang on.....
Really surprised at the tosh you came up with there Shotshy.
Would love the Scandanavian system, thanks.So, what’s an acceptable population of the U.K.?
Another 10 million?
How about round it up to 100 million.
Limited resources dictates a limited population.
Immigrants also get old and sick.
You globalists seem to think that it can just go up and up.
The U.K. is gaining about a million every three years at the moment.
Personally, I think that’s too much for the system as it is.
Maybe a political party can stand on high taxation for high services as they have in Scandinavia.
40% income tax starting rate?
That’ll please the youngsters.
That's the thing most European migrants came here to work paid our taxes and a lot plan to return home after a period in this country as proved by the post Brexit exit.Meanwhile a lot of non European migrants do come here for family reasons and are more likely to stay .So purely economically the European migrants almost certainly boosted our economy.It is more likely that someone moving much longer distances will lose ties with their original home while European migrants can return home more cheaply and regularly.So, what’s an acceptable population of the U.K.?

Not so Chris.
That’s a myth.
Of the 3 million Eu nationals that the government thought were residing in the U.K., 6 million have registered for permanent status
No borders = no NHS. That's pretty simple to understand
Hopefully Chris who will come back with evidence of some sort to refute this, and back up his claim that Europeans come to work and then go home (that's not my observation from looking around East London where I work a couple of days a week.
Agree with what you are saying - the NHS is a "pot" that people pay in to in case they, or other people get sick. If people take money out that haven't paid in, it starts falling down, that's just common sense.

Pigs need not stink.We have a few pig farms near me none of them stink the pigs are kept clean .The important difference appears to be farmers look after the livestock .The only problem I have had with foul smells comes from human stink at a nearby sewage farm that I cycle past and chicken farms that I occasionally pass .Chickens are unnaturally kept in tiny areas indoors. Not surprisingly those area stink.So I would argue that it is our unnaturally keeping animals and birds inside or without enough space .There is enough space for humans if the have's didn't grab most of it there would be plenty to go around.For me, too much under developed countryside in this Country, put some F*** concrete on it. When you go out into it, most of it only stinks of pigs shit and the rest is inhabited by a bunch of inbreeds.

Why does "population older and sicker" necessarily return as an answer "more people" ?Had migration not occurred our workforce would be smaller still and our population would be older and sicker. The elephants in the room are legion but years of poor productivity and an austerity programme following a worldwide recession are smashing up the forest. Meanwhile the tories are governing in a time of increasing migration, beating all sorts of records. Coincidentally they are bringing in people from further afield than Blair did. Wait and see how many arrive from India and China over the coming years without thinking of those driven by climate and economics.
If you want a country with low imnmigration and low population growth then look at Japan and it's persistent economic problems.
