'Nurses aren't only people Boris Johnson has trampled on - he's his own worst enemy'

Nurses aren’t the only people to be trampled on by Boris Johnson with his insulting one per cent slap for carers.

Bus drivers in Greater Manchester are taking strike action because the Government permits employers to fire and rehire workers on lower pay and inferior terms.

British Gas, British Airways, Heathrow Airport and coffee maker Douwe Egberts are – with public transport operator Go North West, – on a worryingly list of companies accused of exploiting coronavirus to ride roughshod over folk.

The Prime Minister also freezing the pay of council staff, firefighters the armed forces and the police, shows workers in both the public and private sectors face a common enemy – him.

And the people of Britain have a united cause with the world’s poorest when even Tories warn hundreds of thousands will starve to death as a result of Johnson’s £4billion aid slash.

Chiding Keir Starmer at Prime Minister’s Questions for raising their plight was low even for Johnson.

The PM who poses as a compassionate metropolitan liberal is revealing himself to be an uncaring reactionary charlatan.

Tory poll leads of up to 13 per cent have encouraged Johnson to believe he’s vaccinated against defeat, it might prove his undoing.

Coronyvirus contracts, chumocracy appointments, bullying Priti Patel’s free pass, Dominic Cummings’ £40,000 pay rise followed by 1 per cent for nurses, cash channelled into well-heeled Tory seats at the cost of Labour hard-up areas and small fortunes lavished on Downing Street are the stench of political corruption.

The elected dictator will grow more arrogant and make more mistakes the longer he’s in power.

Labour voting against Budget income tax increases for the lowest paid in particular is a clear red line after a virus tier abstention and backing the Tory Government’s lousy Brexit deal.

Labour needs to appear capable winners and Tories sleazy and incompetent. The Budget points to a 2023 early election before bigger tax rises and deeper spending cuts bite.

Johnson’s slap for carers might yet derail the Conservatives and his sleaze could be Labour’s best hope.
