Can't count and unable to read a room, lying Tories will be abandoned on a trolley in a hospital corridor by the NHS and other strikes triggered by financial misery.
With everybody feeling the pinch, the biggest failure of deceitful Conservative Ministers is a blinkered inability to grasp popular support for walkouts.
The public is with nurses and an indomitable Pat Cullen, the plain-talking RCN chief running rings around hopeless Steve the Sexist.
The veteran mental health nurse branding Health Secretary Stephen Barclay an arms-folding, lip-tightening misogynist struggling to contain his contempt for the woman sitting opposite is crushing.
Pollster Opinium uncovering 60% back nurses striking in England, Wales and Northern Ireland is a crashing rejection of Tory smears.
Similarly what’s remarkable after six months of rail stoppages is Christmas strikes were endorsed by 39% of people with only 45% against, a tribute to Mick Lynch framing Conservatives as Grinches.
Backfiring Tory propaganda repeating weak PM Rishi Sunak’s deceitful, inflated £28billion price tag for awarding inflation-matching wage awards is undermining trust in their wobbling Government.
Business Secretary Grant Shapps was mocked for regurgitating the £28bn lie at the weekend.

The Tories are innumerate, illiterate, incompetent, incoherent and imbecilic.
Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives waste more public money – strike-breaking squaddies will cost the NHS £4,000 per week each to drive ambulances this week - and political capital to grind nurses into the dirt means any pyrrhic victory would herald electoral defeat.
