The junior doctors also get a large rise, so that’s Labour’s union paymasters rewarded. And who is going to pay for all this? Why the pensioners with their winter fuel allowance, of course. What that doesn’t see fair? Of course, it isn’t, but this is Socialism, the politics of greed and spite.

Labour resents anyone, who wants to better themselves. They want us all to be ‘taxed to the hilt’ and reliant on the State.

Why do people vote for them, they are never going to change, or get any better.
