    The U-turn of a U-turn

    Oh well, nothing new to see here...

    This evening, the DUP have stood alongside their Tory paymasters cheering at the fact that they have withheld more pay for our police, our firefighters, our nurses and our teachers. Shame on them.

    After Theresa May’s disastrous missteps this shows nature of the government we have been left with.

    This U-turn on a U-turn will stick in the throat of million of hard working public servants, many of whom recently ran towards danger, be it Manchester, Grenfell or London Bridge. These people go above and beyond and yet the government snubs them.
    Tonight, the Conservatives had an opportunity to put their money where their mouth is, by ending cuts to our police and fire service and lifting the public sector pay cap.

    “Although government ministers said they had learned the lessons of the general election and were listening to voters, it is clear that nothing has changed.

    They had the perfect opportunity to walk the walk, but instead they marched through the lobby to show Tory austerity is business as usual.

    While the money is there when the Conservatives need it to keep themselves in office, the rest of the country now face more devastating cuts to our emergency and other vital services.

    The Conservatives clearly plan to keep working for a privileged few.
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      Labour to lose every vote, every time, for the next 5 years.

        Theresa May might just be the least tactical PM to ever serve. Bad bad move, IMHO - and right on the back of literally buying a handful of votes for no other reason than a desperate and transparent need to hang on to power.

        Obviously she couldn't be batted around by Labour at this juncture, but that alone just shows how little she thought through this little deal of hers. It's like being caught paying for your mistress to go to vegas while telling your kids that they're on beans on toast for a month.

        They were never going to win the vote - but they are doing a very good job of capitalising on the current public sentiment. They're in a fantastic position - the Tories have just purchased themselves full responsibility for Brexit and the next round of public discontent with the country.

            I'm selling up at the peak, ready to watch Korbyn's vindictive and destructive punitive communist policies hammer the public into a 3rd World failed state.

                Psst - Corbyn isn't in power. Whatever happens over the next few years is all on May

                  Tories have already done that. Loaded everyone with debt and no hope of every paying it back.

                  debt debt debt loadsa debt.

                    If you watch the BBC you'd be forgiven for thinking Korbyn is El Presidente.
