Mister M 1,610 #1345 Posted May 3, 2021 It's just that Tories are very good and seem to take a lot of pleasure from taking aim at other political parties, politicians, leaders and their policies. However they very rarely articulate positive reasons for voting Conservative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mr Allen 0 #1347 Posted May 4, 2021 Sorry but I'd rather spoil my voting form than ever vote Tory! Their record on disability rights, or rather lack thereof IMO, speaks for itself I reckon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If you knew about Labour , in Sheffield a few years ago , just about finishing a very popular and well used club used by disabled people , then you may view them in a different light too .

But at a national level, the Tories have been in charge for over a decade. They've cut local government funding in that time by £16bn.

Would you like to point us in the direction of services that have taken substantial cuts, but yet “function almost the same as they did before the cuts” ?

No but I will post this again which explains that there has not been any unplanned cuts to services so perhaps you could tell us what services have sustained "substantial cuts". It states in the article that in the last budget they used £11.2Million of reserves to help fund the gap. I wonder how they managed to have that amount in reserves to use if the have had drastic cuts to their budget. https://governmentbusiness.co.uk/news/12022020/sheffield-budget-reveals-no-unplanned-cuts-services Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I think we are also going round in circles as you have posted similar before when I have also posted the above before and IIRC Many of the Sure Start centres closed because they simple were not used enough. 4 minutes ago, sibon said: The question is there for everyone to see.
