Useless Tories and their continual mismanagement and bad ideas, that is the difference between the others and us.

There are reports that Manchester airport is currently closed because they have had about an inch of snow

It's bizarre, yes we don't get a lot of snow, but we do get snow, so they should have plans in place for when it happens.
