Remind me again how many times May said she wouldn't call for an early election? (assuming she gets the 2/3's majority in the House she needs)?
Ten?
A dozen?
Real "strength" right there.
Anyone who thinks the tories will stop immigration is deluded.
The reason (or one of them) is simple; immigration drives down wages by increasing competition for jobs. Bliar overcame this by introducing tax credits, but the hard right tories will still want immigration as it will boost their profits.
Throw in on top of that a bonfire of workers rights, such as holiday pay, maternity pay, limited working hours, weekends off, workers contracts and a host of other rights, and you can see the future of this country for the working man.
Why anyone would vote to be turned into a serf is beyond me, especially when the "immigration" driver is simply not going to happen, and according to the Minister for Brexit, immigration will increase, not just in the short term, but for the foreseeable future. Check out what he said, it's all out there, but not being reported.
We've also recently seen a small Private Police force authorised for one of the super rich enclaves in London.
Be prepared for more of the same; remember in tory Britain, the law only protects the rich, the rest will just have to make do.
And if you get ill? Tough sh*t, pay up or get second rate care, and with no ability to sue for maltreatment because legal aid won't exist, and the same goes for unfair dismissal, or a boss groping a worker, or any number of protections you currently enjoy.
