9 years of Austerity implemented by the Conservatives – they want us to give them more time to fix it? How long do they need?
Child poverty up 73% in the UK under 9 years of Tory government.
Jeremy Corbyn never supported the IRA, but people don’t mind the fact that the Tories are selling weapons to Saudi Arabia, who are massacring millions of people in Yemen, fund weapons to ISIS and have one of the worst human rights records on this planet.
Remember we only have the press’ word that Corbyn is racist. Boris Johnson literally called Muslim women ‘letterboxes’.
Not forgetting Tory Councillor Maria Garland was in the IRA.
Conservative council allowed illegal padding on Grenfell Tower which resulted in the fire, Conservative government have blamed the fire fighters who put their lives at risk. In February 2013 residents warned fire safety equipment, including fire extinguishers, had not been tested for 12 months.

The Conservative council insisted the block had been regularly inspected.

Any post-Brexit trade deal with the United States will open the door to big American health corporations. It has also been picked up that the US authorities will demand that the NHS pays more for drugs supplied by American companies. Fuelling this row was a documentary by Channel 4 Dispatches which asserted that the price the NHS pays for US medicines could rise steeply in any future trade deal with the United States. The programme reported that “drug pricing” had been discussed in six initial meetings between trade officials from the UK and the US and that there had been “secret meetings” between the pharmaceutical companies and British civil servants.
I do not believe you want to live in a country where people are treated like they have been for the last 9 years. I definitely don’t.
So if you know someone who is voting Conservative, show them these facts. Ask them what country they want to live in.
Don’t be one of those who’s argument for not voting labour is based on a headline you read on Corbyn.
End Tory rule.
End Austerity.
