Events over the past week have shown how out of touch the Tory party and its supporters are with the concerns of ordinary working people. While millions struggle to pay ever-increasing fuel, food and housing bills, the governing party puts in-fighting and name-calling ahead of the national interest.

They should grow up and concentrate on their main job and that is trying to sort out the economic mess that they have presided over for the past three years. Instead of dealing with the tax avoiders and the profiteers; they have turned their fire on the poor, the sick and the vulnerable. They have impoverished millions while giving huge tax breaks to millionaires. They are creating a divided and dysfunctional society.

What we need is a coherent, credible and urgent plan for jobs and growth that gives people real hope.
