[Eichhörnchen]

I grew up in a working-class Tory voting household; my parents read the Daily Sketch and then the Daily Mail and always voted Conservative. So did I until the treachery of the Poll Tax. I swore then never to vote Tory again... I remember.

Whatever Jeremy Corbyn is, I'll be voting Labour because I see the Tories as the enemies of the self-employed and small business. Plus we have disability concerns in our family. Measures introduced to give everyone a minimum wage will force many small businesses out of business (the Tories know this) and incidentally, NONE of this benefits the self-employed and is never balanced by any kind of relief for the self-employed. And now they've learned that these self-employed are rocketing in numbers, what do they do? Start dreaming up more ways of squeezing them, i.e. the N.I.measures. They've made it virtually IMPOSSIBLE for the self-employed to get Universal Credit, and now they are planning to force us to submit accounts quarterly... online... knowing full well that this will be an almost impossible burden for many. But it will save the Civil Service (the IR) a packet. They don't want the self-employed... we are too expensive and independent.

As for the disabled, news stories of them having their benefits curtailed are legion, and if they get a mandate to do what they want then these are only likely to increase.

This is why I will be voting for Labour.
