We can't pay workers because we can't afford it but we can give bankers 7.5 billion tax break

As soon as house prices and pensions are affected, suddenly we are all in this together.

"I'm a conservative voter" - i.e. "I'm shamelessly complicit in every sh*tty thing we now face having voted Tory time and again."

[postoffice]

I have an idea - don't vote the Tories in ever again! There, wasn't hard was it?

[ThomasKing]

Even Tories are repulsed by tories now.

Even the government knows they’re out at the next election at this point 🙃 which is also part of the problem - it’s a bit conspiratorial, but I’m not sure they have any interest in fixing issues, instead preferring just to leave them for their successors to clean up, while also trying to grab as much cash as they can before the game is up…

Looking forward to the Conservative party suffering a Party destroying defeat at the next election

She believes the long debunked myth that pay rises at the bottom causes inflation. Maybe she misunderstood the same book that Truss did.

Woman brought up in Liverpool, votes Conservative now she lives in Kensington. Perhaps you forgot where you came from, and that's your problem. Not the fact that people should always have been treated correctly, and given a decent wage.

5:08 this is a fundamental misunderstanding of how inflation works.
1. Current inflation is due to supply chain issues and profits, not pay
2. companies are making record profits if the workers get a pay rise it will come out of that not a rise in ticket sales
3. most are asking for below inflation therefore inflationary effects would not make sense
4. A lot of these people are already in a pacarious financial position, this payrise will mean they won't be and a loaf of bread being 5p more when they earn £50 a week more is not going to much of an issue.

[ThomasKing]

Tories have destroyed this once great country.

[markatkinson]

Don't we all, this government is an absolute disgrace. We're all sick to the back teeth.

[remilloyd]

Conservative journalist and Tory voter 'Peter Oborne' explained it perfectly, when he said he would be voting Labour at the next election, because:- this Tory Party isn't Conservative at all, it's a party that's now completely owned by billionaire donors, who now dictate policy to work against voters and in favour of these corporate donors.

The rot started when Boris got in and it’s been down hill since

[rogergreen]

Conservative- determined to make people poorer

[altvamp]

The Post office had a lot of ex army staff, it was a very strict environment, I worked there 12 years as a postie, sorter and driver, it was bad, the first 2-3 years was ok but then they introduced mailshot (cheaper rates for business), followed by leaflets and then council newspapers, delivery load went from 1 bag a round at most to 2, then 3, and then 4 sometimes, the leaflets and papers meant going to every house but the bosses said it made no difference to walk times, they got people working through their indoor time, wouldn't let them have break and victimised people telling them they were to slow and threatening warnings if they asked to be paid, I was dismissed for insubordination in the end, was glad to be out of it.

[mickp]

So the rich getting richer does not cause inflation. ???

[mikec]

Why don't they just go and except that they are liars, corrupt, and out of touch and pass the buck, if it's not in there back pocket's its blaming someone else, please go now before you do more damage .

[kevinjackson]

I’m also or was a Tory voter since been old enough to vote I’m 61, have to this lot have lost control of the country, nhs, cost of living, what ever it is, Like some have said they know already they will lose next time round, so it’s only going to get worse, I think there needs to be a general election sooner rather than later,

[barrydaws]

Thatcher didn't get in until 1979. Regretbly I hated Thatcher
