By no means a Tory, but would welcome that immensely. Anyone else looking out for anything particular today?

Tories: we can't fund services, public sector pay and should cu money to the most vulnerable etc, etc because wen have to balance our incomings and outgoings.

Ha. The next election is the first where I might not be voting conservative.
Problem is the lack of alternatives. Labour certainly haven't earned my vote. | |
