Spending on healthcare education and social security, mainly - and a Tory inability to create a budget surplus, since the Thatcher days!
In other words, the Tories need to borrow to keep the UK working - and more every year. Blair/Brown generated several surpluses.
We pay a billion (£1,000,000,000) every month in interest on the Debt - and also need to fund a few items, like several multi-billion pound nuclear war ships.
Brexit isn't expected to be cheap either...

Look at brexit, it is being pushed into action by Politicians with agendas and favour for US interests further supported by a voting public who are being denied the full picture.
At the centre of it all is Rupert Murdoch and we only have to look at Farage and his flouters to see what is going on.
The masses don't get the truth because the media = thought control.

Even allowing for inflation though
No UK government in history has borrowed more than this one
In only 9 years
Budget surpluses are simply a thing of the past

Where has the money gone?
Bailing out businesses?
What policies could the coalition have implemented which would see the rate of spending so astronomical?

Fair enough Book.
But my stats/facts are correct - and not disputed by you.
Tories have borrowed a lot more than Labour governments, in the past.
Nothing close to the current regime; the figures are irrefutable and so easily verifiable.
