I see plenty of blog posts and opinion pieces about how the Tories want to force the country into poverty in order to make the wealthy wealthier but nothing from the Tories themselves oddly.

Would you mind giving some citation here please?
Well I guess you must have been off sick that day then.

Take a look at the most mis-aptly named Employment Opportunities Bill, sponsored by Christopher Chope, Peter Bone, Philip Davies, Nigel Evans, Greg Knight, Edward Leigh, Ian Liddell-Grainger, Brian Binley, William Cash, Robert Syms and David Wilshire and supported by others such Nicholas Winterton.

One of them, Peter Bone actually boasted, during a Tory party conference, that he paid workers as little as eighty-seven pence an hour.

So, does that mean that Tories are NOT trying to abolish the minimum wage then?
