Another tory U Turn!

[Kizzy]

Yet ANOTHER manifesto pledge scrapped, as dire as it was their manifesto now is almost entirely reversed. The document on which they were elected does not exist... so why are they still in power?

'Theresa May has been accused of “yet another U-turn” after dumping a pledge to strip private schools of their lucrative tax breaks if they refuse to help their state school neighbours.

The Conservative election manifesto vowed that independent schools would be required to sponsor academies, forge partnerships, or offer extra bursaries to poorer children to retain their charitable status.

However, it now emerges that an advice service has been set up instead, suggesting that the plan has been quietly dropped.'

They've U-turned on everything that doesn't benefit the rich so far so why should we expect any different now?

It is an issue entitled to be critized just like other policies/politicians who do u-turns.

Well yeah... That's why I made the thread, to criticise the decision, but specifically the PM because she is the PM and it appears that to bamboozle the electorate in June she lied and better lied to secure that position.

At least this change of course benefits those who serve this country and gives them a boost. What did Labours U Turn over scrapping University fees do?
