Helena Parker has been a staunch Tory voter all her life, but can no longer support a party that does not think of people’s needs, only how to balance the books
My heart goes out to Sharron Spice (I work 50 hours a week and I’m still in arrears on my council tax. What more can I do?, 30 November). As I type this, my hands are frozen from having no heating in the house.
I wrote to our local MP, and received a courteous letter back; it states what measures the government has put in place for the country, adding that “the Government cannot pay for everything for everyone”, but there is no emotion. The letter never says what they haven’t done or could still do to help, only that they have to take difficult decisions.
