Vote for misery and poverty

Sir, - I had to laugh at Jill Stevenson’s letter (May 1) in which she feigns surprise that anyone can believe that a Tory majority at Westminster would see Scotland clobbered. Where has she been?

Quite aside from the odious rape clause attack on rape victims, in recent times we have seen the Tories legislate to cut help for mentally ill people and this on top of the savage attacks on the poor with DWP staff feeling obliged to send penniless families to foodbanks.

Does anyone really think that these disgusting attacks will stop if Theresa May gets a majority?

For decades, Scotland has voted for more humane policies only for their democratically expressed wishes to be trampled all over by Tory governments deliberately prioritising tax cuts for the mega-rich bankers and hedge fund managers who very largely fund the Conservative Party.

These bankers have made sure their party has so much money that many current Tory MPs may be facing charges relating to their excessive spending leading up to the last election.

The message is very clear. Vote Tory and vote for misery and poverty for the sick. Vote Tory for more swag for the bankers and for the Tory Party’s election campaigns.

I think we deserve rather better.
