Letters / We can sort it out

What are the priorities in Britain?

We live in a rich country and yet foodbanks are becoming the norm, they will be busy over Christmas.

In contrast, 75 per cent of banking millionaires in the EU are based in Britain, over 2,700 of them.

What can we expect from the Cabinet?

This Cabinet is full of millionaires, they award tax cuts to the rich and are dismantling the welfare system for those in need.

We are moving back to the Victorian idea of the poor, the deserving poor and the undeserving poor.

There is indeed something rotten in the state of Britain.

We can sort that out in September with a Yes vote and build a country for all.
