I’m hoping the formatting is right on this, I’m on mobile though so apologies if it’s not.

> for drastic restrictions on the right to strike.
Just in time to roll back those pesky EU restrictions on workers rights..
Can’t protest. Can’t strike. But clearly the people are the issue, not the salaries businesses are willing to pay..
>Said she will expect police to cut murder, serious violence and neighbourhood crime by 20% between 2019 and 2024.
I’d like to know how she intends to do that due to the massive cuts in funding and staffing the Tories have enacted. Does she just think crime is merely a number and you can just hit the down arrow a few times to reduce it?
And lol…Northern Powerhouse. Still pushing that old chesnut, huh?
Of course we have the attacks on workers rights as to be expected
She’s delusional.
Probably a stupid question, but when the PM says she expects the police to do this or that, what happens if they fail or succeed?
Is there an incentive or a punishment?
I would enthusiastically vote for Liz Truss’s good doppelgänger from a parallel universe.
Has she heard about the NHS? Or does she just use private healthcare?
