Tories steal Labour policy that bans stealing. Jeremy Corbyn’s response is priceless
In by the back door: Look out, Labour MPs! Theresa May has come to steal more of your policies.
The Conservatives have announced a new policy to ban employers from making “deductions” from employees’ tips.
Here’s how they announced it on Twitter:
📢 Some employers take a % from tips – but we don’t think that’s fair.
So we’re stopping this to:
➡️ Boost pay for workers on low wages.
➡️ Offer a more honest arrangement for the consumers who leave tips.We want ordinary working people rewarded for their hard work 🌳🔵 pic.twitter.com/GLLs30W44v

But Jeremy Corbyn announced the same policy back in June – and the fact was not lost on the Labour leader.
He responded with a ReTweet of his original announcement – with a barbed comment for Theresa May:
.@Theresa_May, you’ve just announced another Labour policy – banning employers taking workers' tips.
Your party has run out of ideas. But stealing a few of ours won’t work. We need a General Election so we can implement Labour's plan to transform Britain. #CPC2018 pic.twitter.com/GHWebDFa3Q

He’s absolutely right, and the Tory conference is proving his case every day.
We need a general election so we can implement all of Labour’s policies – not just a few that the Tories have stolen.
