Can we really Trust Teresa May with a blank cheque?

I have just received my local free paper with another Mayhem wraparound.
The local Tory does not get a mention. I am hoping that Tories will not go vote because they will be expecting to see Theresa May on the ballot paper. Haven't seen a single bit of paper with the Tory candidate's name on.

Anyway, May says she is going to "make sure every child gets the best start in life by increasing school funding every year."
Do you think heads should take her to court for that?
She also says she will "increase the NHS budget every year to ensure every family has the care they need, and we can pay for and provide care for the elderly."

That care bit sounds clumsy, like it was just tagged on as an afterthought.

The Conservatives have promised to increase spending on education and the NHS, as have all the political parties.
I expect the Conservatives in your area know the name of the candidate to vote for already.I certainly do in mine.

Why would they? Not a single piece of literature with a name on from the Tories.
I can't believe they just miss my house out.
I asked my son yesterday if he had had any literature about the election.
Just the Labour leaflet and the free paper, which he always puts in the recycling straight away. He didn't even know about the wraparound.
I collect all the leaflets to look at with my grandson. For next week's election, I only have a Labour leaflet. No point in the wraparounds as we cannot vote for May.

Rudd got the second biggest laugh yesterday for asking the audience to judge them on their record.

Have you not seen the NUT thread about how much schools will lose under the Tories, how many teachers they are likely to lose?
That is happening now. Do you not care about how many teachers are going to be lost in your grandchildren's schools because of May's policies?

That's why they laughed at Rudd.

To save you looking.

I havent recieved a single piece of election propaganda from the tories. So apart from the information that my son emailed me - she is an evangelical , who believes gays can be "cured" through the power of prayer - best of luck with that one in Brighton and Hove - i know nothing about her. Mind you what i do know is enough

The Tories are NOT putting in extra money to either the NHS or education. Neil could not extract that promise from Maybot however hard he tried.

This is a comparison of Labour and Tory manifestos, for those who haven't had any election propaganda.

If May does get back in, there might be some good to come out of it.

'A key part of May's relaunch was her lavish praise for the NHS: “The NHS is the essence of solidarity in our UK: the institution that binds us all together; a symbol of our commitment to each other; between young and old, those who have and have not, the healthy and the sick”.

But the harsh reality is that the NHS is in real trouble and today a new report by the Royal College of Surgeons says the number of patients waiting six months or more for surgery has tripled over the past four years in England. In March, nearly 130,000 people had been waiting for operations after being referred by a consultant, compared with 45,000 in March 2013.

And it’s not just hospitals, it’s schools that are really feeling the effect of cuts. One cash-strapped primary school in London has asked pupils to vacuum classrooms at the end of the day because they can’t afford to replace a cleaner.'

She's such a hypocrite.

Did anyone else see IDS saying, "What we are trying to get away with in the manifesto...."?

Freudian slip?

This is an interesting website.
Put in your postcode and find out what your NHS needs, what is proposed at the moment by the Tory government, and which party will help the NHS most in your area.

Can we trust Theresa May - NO absolutely NO

I have a feeling it will be a long time before IDS stops seeing recording of that.

The Conservatives have said they will suspend campaigning today.

This is why May should not be given a blank cheque.

May should not be given a blank cheque because

She has flipped flopped so much on social care no one is really clear where she stands any more

She is unclear about taxation.

She has made some real and profound errors regarding to Brexit

As Home Secretary she relaxed border controls to the extent that she had no idea who was entering Britain

Failed conspicuously even in her own terms to get to grips with immigration

Cut police numbers to below what was considered was needed to secure our safety. - this is why the army was needed after Manchester

So, when the French put 10,000 soldiers on the streets and trains in Paris, after the terror attack, that was because of police shortages ? No, it wasn't.

In any case ordinary coppers won't make any difference at all.

France has two police forces. The "Gendarmerie Nationale" is a hybrid police force and army. It's a totally different situation from the UK.

The police simply don't have the resources to investigate potential terrorist networks or build up local knowledge to help prevent attacks in the first place.

I think that is a very dogmatic statement RAR when we none of us have any extensive knowledge about the issues. My, hopefully, less arrogant opinion is that returning the police to the numbers deemed necessary in the past would at least help. It is the ordinary police that collect the basic intelligence and that seems to be exactly what we are missing.

Increasing armed police comes with this as they are drawn from the 'ordinary coppers' as you chose to call them. Pretty extraordinary in my view.

This government, by slashing the numbers of police and then claiming kudos for increasing by half the numbers slashed; by May's badmouthing of them over many years and by a complete lack of understanding of ordinary lives, have a lot to answer for.

Haha! Any post I make is pounced on by you GGM2 but actually, our policeman SIL said the remark about ordinary coppers, which I agree with.You could have more police around, always a good thing for general crime, but what is really needed is more money to be now put in to counter terrorism units and intelligence.
May hasn't 'bad mouthed' the police.....what an extraordinary thing to say, the Cabinet have cut public spending across the board and the police fall into this area.

May was home secretary before she became PM. She did badmouth the police, so much that she was booed offstage at the Police Federation conference in 2012. They wanted her to resign.

Saying that she only did what the Cabinet told her to do, that the Cabinet made the decision to cut the police numbers, is utter hypocrisy. She does not believe in collective responsibility. She is disagreeing daily with what the Cabinet says still.
Fallon says there will be no tax rise; May does not support him.
Johnson says there will be no tax rises; May disagrees with him.

May as Home Secretary cut police numbers by 20000 and relaxed entry point rules and goodness knows who came in during that period -no one knows. She only put back the measures when she was found out.

Her period as Home Secretary was found wanting. No doubt about it.

I actually think that you are wrong about "ordinary coppers" rose

Nothing replaces the eyes and ears of a copper on the beat. They are our first line of defence
