They are not getting anything as much stick as the Conservatives would have if they have done it. Every Labour supporting rag would have been going on about it, and my FB feed would have been flooded with people complaining about "uncaring Tories".

I suspect we are going to get a lot of austerity and privatisation in the next few years simply because Labour can get away with things. Some good things may happen (IMO the NHS badly needs reform) but so will a LOT of bad things.
