Most Britons believe the Government should raise taxes and spend more on health, education and welfare, says a major report out today.
The long-running British Social Attitudes survey found 52 per cent of those polled backed higher taxes and public spending, up from 50 per cent in 2020.
Close to half (49 per cent) think the Government should take from the richest to give to the poorest, up sharply on recent years, while 51 per cent were willing to pay higher taxes to fund improved healthcare.
