Are you being disingenuous again? Sunak is the one in the hot seat, he gets to make decisions today, in the current climate where the life saving work of Nurses, clerical staff and everyone working in hospitals is paramount, he decided that they should continue to pay for parking.
Since you chose to bring Labour into the discussion, we should look holistically at NHS renumeration. Labour paid a fairer wage to NHS, the Tories, have frozen their wages for a decade, which is a significant real term drop.
As for Sunak, his record speaks for itself. On the one hand he has consistently voted (against the poor):
- against benefits for illness and disability
- for reduction in welfare spending
- for reducing local government funding (and thus local government services that help the poorest)
While voting (for the rich):
- against a higher tax on banks
- for reducing capital gains tax
- for reducing corporation tax
That's before you look at his attempts to infringe our human rights, other countries human rights and protect the elite by denying a more democratic vote:
- voted to keep hereditary peers
- voted to have fewer MPs
- voted against an elected house of lords
- voted against powers for local authorities and welsh and scottish assemblies
- voted for mass surveillance of our communication
- voted against climate change prevention
- voted for military action in Syria and against investigating action in Iraq
- voted against equal gay rights
I know he seems to be flavour of the months amongst those with a fleeting interest in politics, based on the fact he is moderately charming and not full of bluster like Boris. But his voting record is that of someone who wants the status quo fo the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. He isn't a moderate Tory by any stretch and can get in the bin with the rest of this cabinet of b***ds.
