After 8 years of budget cutting, Britain looks less like the rest of Europe and more like the U.S., with a shrinking welfare state and spreading poverty. For a nation with a storied history of public largess, the protracted campaign of budget cutting — started in 2010 by a government led by the Conservative Party — has delivered a monumental shift in British life. Now, the country has grown accustomed to living with less. As much as any city, Liverpool has seen sweeping changes in its economic fortunes. Today, more than 1/4 of its roughly 460,000 residents are officially poor. @andreabruce took these photos in and around Liverpool.

The National Health Service has supposedly been spared from budget cuts, but spending has been frozen in many areas.
