In fact it really doesn’t take much research to see through all the cracks. In short, no amount of rhetoric will protect hard working people against the knocks and scuffs that this Government has got in store for them up until the next election.</p> <p>But Tory ministers are united in their quest to achieve a majority in the next election with or without the Liberal Democrats. </p> <p>A spokesman for the Party said, “We are happy with the amount of non-yellowing policies we have on offer. In short, as per the Ronseal guarantee, we are ready for everything that life throws at us without having to gloss over our differences…” </p>
