But inflation is running at 9% so you're saying that they should accept a real terms pay cut after years of wage stagnation?

And how often are these actually 'independent'? It's heavily govt influenced under the veneer of independent.

Waste collectors do an important job. So do train drivers. I think I'd notice them not doing anything long before a bunch of self-important arseholes stopped acting like schoolchildren shouting at each other in a fancy old building before writing down some bullshit on goatskin that they have no...

And they're vital in making sure at the very least we don't end up back there. If you let companies get rid of employees, not give those left pay rises and increase their workload to make more profit then that's where we end up. And that's a possibility if you have a government that constantly...

Good that we've got another much needed ACM in, and looks like he has a decent amount of talent to create chances. Would maybe have liked a bit better scoring record, and the appearances/fan reviews are a slight cause for concern, but cautiously optimistic.

He's more likely to call him Kane

Sound like they should start a dog walking business together

I appreciate that. But enjoy the Tory government you'll end up with instead.

I didn't think Starmer believed in anything? And I didn't say I didn't beleive in economic growth. I said I believed there's way more than that to indicate success that is pretty much ignored. Imagine. Life expectancy going down, as is the general health of the population due to high levels...

But the point is you're very unlikely to actually get that option. It'd be like having a dinner party and over half are vegetarian. Choosing the food, some want the vegetable curry, others want a salad, some want jacket potatoes. Meanwhile, the few meat eaters all decide on steak and spend the...

Exactly. If he'd supported them the story would be "Lefty Starmer wants to increase cost of rail tickets and put rail infrastructure on its knees" Because he didn't it's "Coward Starmer won't back strikes" Got fuck all to do with reporting and everything about the narrative.

Why can't I help but feel that if he had the polls wouldn't look like that. It does feel that it's 'whatever they do, it's the wrong thing and they should have done the other'.

:ROFLMAO: If you had historical knowledge and understood the implications of history you'd know that pretty much everything you stand for has ended up failing over the past millennium. The best advances in terms of knowledge and living standards come when ordinary people are given more power...

But the point is that more and more striking/pickets etc are being made unlawful. If they do so, the government just looks for ways to stop them doing it next time and make them the villains. If they put half as much effort into stopping companies and the rich taking the piss there wouldn't be...

and wasn't elected as PM.

It does seem that they see how the Tories get elected time after time and are using it as a blueprint. Doesn't seem to have worked to well with Miliband or Starmer. But then neither did Corbyn. So it seems the issue isn't about policy as neither left or right wing policy works - it's literally...

I do get your point, but we are at a stage where if you don't go for Labour/Starmer, you WILL end up with Johnson instead. Which would you prefer? I don't like the idea of voting for someone because hey aren't someone else, but we're now so desperately in the shit it's something we as a nation...

For the love of God please let it be a vasectomy!

Replace with Boris and NI protocol/Brexit. Seems like Starmer is being held to much higher standards than the actual PM. Or is that how you do it nowadays? Be charasmatic but untrustworthy and get a free ride?
