evidence: OMG!! Tories cheering firefighters nurses police and armed forces pay rise rejected after everything that's happened pic.twitter.com/HeDTCFf4Ll — ARTIST TAXI DRIVER (@chunkymark) June 28, 2017 [...] Commentators were quick to accuse the Tories and their newly-bribed friends, the DUP, pointing out that Theresa May found £1.5 billion to ensure she could remain as prime minister easily enough. Clearly the reason similar amounts aren’t available for nurses, firefighters, the police and all the others who actually work hard for the benefit of the UK is that Mrs May doesn’t think she needs them. [...] Tories and DUP just voted together to oppose Labour's policy to give emergency and public service workers a fair pay rise. Utter disgrace.
