Reasons to not vote Tory this GE

  1. Bedroom tax
  2. Denying disability benefit to 165,000 people
  3. Scrapping housing benefit for 18-21 year olds
  4. Benefit cap
  5. Rise in uni tuition fees
  6. Junior doctors' contracts
  7. Scrapping nurses' bursaries
  8. Snoopers' charter
  9. Social care cuts
  10. Public sector pay freeze
10. NHS "10 year diet"

There are many many more!

Corbyn wants to invest in public services- education and health by taxing the rich more. Surely you'd have to be completely ignorant and selfish to not agree with this? 4 more years of the Tories will be the end of the NHS, we'd be fucking stupid to let this happen.

  1. They caused the referendum. Even though I voted leave, I didn't vote Tory last time (I voted green). The referendum has brought out some very nasty people on both sides.

I will be voting Labour this time in the hope they will tax me more and use the money to improve the NHS and reduce inequality and ehlp young people get jobs and housing.

  1. Closing down Sure Start Children's Centres. The only social policy intervention based on actual evidence (investment in under 5s) I can think of. www.theguardian.com/society/2016/dec/08/sure-start-closures-almost-doubled-last-year-figures-show

NHS and Social care bill.

MuseumGardens · 09/05/2017 13:42

Making a pig's ear of the economy and forcing us out of the single market even though they knew this would be a terrible idea.
Massively damaging state education.
