LETTER from Tom Smith, Newport West CLP
I looked up the internet. I put in ‘Tories cheering at defeating a pay rise for nurses’. There it was for the whole world to see.
In 2017 the Tories voted against lifting the pay cap on nurses pay and firefighters. The reactionary DUP voted with May’s government to defeat a Labour motion by 323 votes to 309. The Lancet carried a scathing attack on this government, accusing it of hypocrisy as Boris and others clapped the NHS.
I urge you to view the sordid deal yourself. Meanwhile I have a right to ask what is it like to send nurses to risk their deaths due to lack of protective clothing? How any labour MP can even consider working alongside a Tory Party with that kind of morality beats me.
Look up the video folks.
