Thread. @ICCLtweet joined #TonightVMTV yesterday to discuss the #PublicServicesCard.

The Minister also appeared and said it's "difficult to have a conversation with people when they don’t even know the facts.”

@ICCLtweet The Minister said “Of course they have a choice” (5.52) about the PSC.

What kind of "choice" is that?
@ICCLtweet Many have reported their lack of choice regarding the #PSC. Remember:
