Strike Action

It's not just a few fellas on twitter having a moan, the dissent and criticism goes far deeper. Here's the head of Britain's biggest union and a huge financial contributor to a party who's funds happen to be going south.

Channel news Krishnan Guru-murtyhy opening his interview with a politician with you said you were going to ban strikes in 2019 you never did and now we have chaos. Banning strikes is banning freedom. The right to withhold your labour shouldnt even be up for politicians to debate as something they can ban.

He did an article in the guardian recently about how he thought the gym was always full of narcissists, but then he decided he likes it so now it's not.

He's a bad tit.

Liz truss and the daily mail stoke up a conflict between the government and unions and somehow Labour make the story about internal division within the party.

 

Brilliant.

That'll definitely get the job done. 

 

My cousin posts links to petitions like "sign this petition to end animal cruelty".

 

If only life were so simple.

If only you had signed, who knows where we’d be now

It's been coming! You can't keep pissing off groups of ordinary working people who give an awful lot of money to your party, and expect no action to be taken!

 

I haven't complained about my union giving money to Labour when I'm a member of another party, but I certainly won't complain if (and most likely when) they stop giving that money to Labour!

It'll all have gone through a computer system.

 

Basically Starmer knows he can tell the left to fuck off because what he really needs is about 250 Mondeo men in 27 small midlands towns to vote for him. That's our democracy, sadly.

What are they gonna do though?

Pull their support from labour

What's that going to achieve?

Aye. Nothing.

Nothing attempted is nothing achieved.

 

whilst this country has seen the de-nationalisation of major services like  Rail, the post and energy, to name a few, this has also caused a fragmentation of the unions and as such, they sit at varying levels of beliefs and above all else, conviction and stomach for the fight. 
 

I may have an undertone of the left wing, I’m not, I’m just standing still whilst the Labour Party, the party that is underpinned by these unions, moves tragically to the right.

 

Starmer is a fraud to the entire labour movement.

Well it'll save them some money they can use on more beneficial things

People should make their minds up whether they're going to slam Starmer for not doing what he said he would do, or slam him for actually doing what he said he would do, and then stick to it.

"What's your problem? I'm only doing what I said I would do."

I think he may have misread the room on this one.  Strikes are usually unpopular and you won't court public opinion by supporting them too much.  This feels different, though.  I think those 250 Mondeo men are watching the Tories being an out-of-touch unspeakable shower of shits and the likes of Mick Lynch being reasonable, intelligent and eloquent, and they're deciding which side they want to support.

I'd say it still is.

Not linking the tweet but I guess Hatefilled Brewery and her pal would bristle at the suggestion Sunak and his wife’s wealth, and how they acquired it, should be up for scrutiny like this. 

[Numero Veinticinco]

It's crazy thinking. He's paying his rent fair and square, just because whilst he has been living their he has increased his pay from being just a railway worker to 70-odd grand plus pension etc, it doesn't mean he should have to move. The idea that one bloke is the problem, not the fact we don't build houses, is a fucking sham.

He seems to mis read the room on almost everything lately.
