Changing my vote
Labour has magnificently managed to score an own goal with the proposed three-year wage freeze.
I would imagine most people affected would be Labour supporters, myself included, and I’m sure many of my nursing colleagues. I never thought as a long-term lefty I would utter these words: ‘‘Labour has lost my vote’’.
