Who’s the “phoney”, Dave?

18.03.09 - Byron Taylor

So, David Cameron called Gordon Brown "a phoney" at Prime Minister's Questions this afternoon. Of course, he had to immediately withdraw his attack - but I thought it might be interesting to remind you about the truth behind David Cameron's spin.

While Cameron pretends to have our best interests at heart, he openly states that he wants to axe the laws that protect our working rights. In fact, he says that this is his "top priority." Brown, on the other hand, has increased paid leave from 20 to 28 days, given all with children under 16 the right to request flexible working - and let's not forget the minimum wage.

So who's the phoney, Dave?

What Cameron doesn't understand is that strong working rights are a key part of fixing our economy.

In these tough economic times we should be banding round together - not threatening workers with rolling their rights back. Send Cameron the message that your rights matter - sign our petition now:

In truth, the Tories simply haven't changed. No matter what they say, they remain a Party of the few not the many. I think we deserve better - tell Cameron that your rights matter, especially in these tough economic times, by signing the petition now.
