Do you support the RMT?

So the Govt are going to further anger nurses at a time when the NHS has problems recruiting and retaining them.

Maybe it's time to start sharing some of the additional VAT monies from inflated costs of food and utility bills that they have been stashing away.

They don't want to resolve it.

Like us they want to destroy the union representing their members.

No VAT on food (mostly).

Certainly not on basic foods but on several foods many buy regularly. You can also add the VAT we pay for catering.

Allegedly a leaked document form the treasury have sent out telling Network Rail to cut infrastructure to "bare minimum" and a proposal to put fares up to the rate of inflation.

The doc also includes a campaign to put rail freight back on roads. TOC's to remove trains and cut services rather than replace them. Northern towns and cities to be affected the most by the cut.

It will be promoted as a "green policy" *shrugs*

Plenty on fuel though? The govt take must be a nice chunk nowadays

Transport for the North has a policy of getting more freight on rail.

Getting freight on the roads releases capacity for passenger trains - so kills the capacity argument for HS2....

That's the only logic I could see for claiming this is a "green" policy.

Levelling up is dead anyway.

It was a bullshit buzzword.

Failing Grayling try to sell the "Midlands Machine that will power the Northern Powerhouse" to a meeting at my workplace and half the people in their (including me) walked out.
