What a shit show. This government fails to deliver the basic services. Absolute shambles.

And we did it despite having to ballot by post and meet a turnout threshold. Better organised than them too.

Been able to hear occasional car horns since about 7am which confused the shit out of me. Suddenly clicked that there's a school a road over from my house, can only assume it's in support of a picket line

The government is in full deflection mode this morning I heard a story on the news about fireman taking pictures of dead females and sharing them in a WhatsApp group a dreadful act but why was the story released today?

It's fine actually because plenty in the current Labour party make similar remarks about anything vaguely left wing

Looks like a good turnout in Broadgate of various workers on strike, good luck to them all.

According to Rishi, the following do not count as 'hardworking Britons':
Anyone who works on the railway
Train drivers
Nurses
Teachers
Civil servants including border force agents
Postal workers
Barristers
Amazing we have a country at all with all these militant crazy hard left loons in public service and infrastructure.

He would say the only hard working ones are in the financial sector. He is far too removed from the normal man or woman to know how they think or what they need.
He is the most useless prime minister since the last one

The 'union barons' are a handful of people. For a strike to happen with the harsh laws in place to try and stop them, members have to really want it.He would say the only hard working ones are in the financial sector.

Nurses on strike for the first time ever-what an embarrassment.

My workplace tried to blame the staff for inflation during our pay negotiations our negotiator said bollocks and they ended the meeting. Today should be the first day of our pay rise but it’s still not been accepted as they offered a decent rise but wanted us to lose some of our sick benefits.

If he wants to eradicate private schools the quickest way would actually be to award state schools a bumper pay rise.
