I want to monitor if the salary raise Rishi announced yesterday is enough to turn the polls, and if people will suddenly believe in the Tories again, thinking they care.

Payouts should always have come before a strikes were needed, and I am still a firm supporter of the #DoctorsStrike , the way they have been treated is just appalling.

I am sure if the gvmnt stops throwing money away on immigrant barges, Rwanda schemes and other useless policies it is all very affordable.

The sad thing is, I personally know people who will agree with the Tories prioritization of white elephants.
