Letters: Enough is enough
Dear Editor
Do not be taken in by the Tories who say, hand on heart, ‘we will put wokers interests first’ if elected.
We know to our cost over the last seven years just how much they care by freezing our wages, imposing drastic cuts in funding for essential services and making scapegoats of unemployed and disabled people.
