Actually, it is now being heard. "Is the high wage economy no more an aim?"Amen.
This is something I cannot believe the unions and in particular Labour have not pointed out again and again. One of the primary purposes of Brexit and this Tory manifesto was better jobs and pay as less immigration meant a stronger market for the jobseekers. Johnson for the last 12 months has banged on about been a high wage economy, I guess wage increases are only for MPs, not nurses, educators or train drivers.

Just watched a brief from the pm’s cabinet meeting this morning.. he keeps talking about union barons?? Any idea of what one is ?? It just goes to show he’s not got one not one thought about the working men and women who pay to be part of a union to protect themselves and their families for financial security and health and safety in the work place. And his cronie Grant shite wafting on regarding the RMT being a leftie union … he’s wrong it’s a strong union as a union is only as strong as it’s members . This is the tip of the iceberg, it’s about time the workers stood up against this lot in power.
It’s not about greed this dispute apart from those at the top of the pile.

It wasn't popular with the WASPI women.I am afraid that’s how all Governments work
You tell me one Government through history who have announced tax changes more than a few months ahead.
The State Pensions have become unsustainable in an ageing population.
We were getting to the stage where the younger smaller workforce would not be able to fund the pension pot
The only other way to fund State Pensions would have been through borrowing , placing further burdens on future generations
At least the Tories had the balls to do something about it even if wasn’t popular.
Care to revisit what the younger smaller workforce can afford with the announcement that state pensions are going up by 10%? - which apparently is not inflationary, whereas wage increases are.
Starmer and Labour need to get out front and centre and say this. Another broken promise. That would be my slogan if I was Labour. Nurses got 1% pay rise following COVID, call this out. The Scottish Labour Leader showed him up today by stepping out and supporting the strike.Actually, it is now being heard. "Is the high wage economy no more an aim?"

But they run the services here as privatised companies...To nationalised railways (in Germany, Italy, France, Holland...) who run many of our trains.
East Midlands Trains which I use most of the companies went into Dutch ownership and were full of promises of improvements but main changes have been increased prices and plans to stop trains to Matlock, and no longer doing the direct Norwich to Liverpool service

The truth in these tribal disputes virtually always lies in the middle. You have to be sceptical of both sides. I have direct personal experience of industrial disputes from both sides of the divide, as a union official and then later as a senior manager.You don't believe anything the Government or the Union says. Yet you know what is absolutely true.

Nope, Tories are absolutely destroying themselves- Kier needs to carry on keeping his head down with the odd sucker punch here and there and watch them implode
