The Grinch warns Welsh Tories off stealing Christmas
by Felicity Collier
’TWAS the fortnight before Christmas, when angry Grinches began to stir and set off to corner four prominent Welsh Tory MPs, who were trying to dampen the festive spirit with threats to the public sector.
Secretary of State for Wales Alun Cairns and MPs Stephen Crabb, Guto Bebb and David Jones will all come face to face this week with public-sector workers dressed as the green mischief-maker famous for hating Christmas.
Angry at the government's continued seven-year pay cap, healthcare and local authority staff are warning the MPs against “stealing our pay rise.”
