From what I understand they want to enforce longer working hours. So that overtime might become mandatory, inconvenient and at lower rates, including a Sunday service.

I think I’m right in saying any NICEIC or ECA registered electrician is allowed to work on it and certify it. I don’t think you have to use Western power once in the building and Western Power almost certainly will charge you a premium for using them. Just google NIC electricians in your area...

It’s more than just pay though. Talking to my postie it’s also about conditions. Namely their employer wants to abandon promises made to employees and Unions that allowed Royal Mail to be privatised in the first place.

I think the point is they keep saying the country can’t afford it. Yet it can afford to wipe off billions of pounds in Covid fraud, Rishi Sunak literally decided to do that as chancellor, might have even been this year. I read last week that the government is also paying £7M a day for storage of...

Is your last name Goodwill by any chance?

As someone said on twitter. At least being an MP keeps him away from children.

It’s 4% for this year back dated to January 2022 and then another 4% from 01/01/2023. There’s no 9% pay increase. They’ve offered a 4% pay increase for the year they’ve just had and another 4% going forward next year. You don’t accumulate your annual pay rises, it’s 4%. Scottish rail workers...

I’d think that he’d take it as confirmation that he’s doing a good job.

It’s also a completely pointless exercise to try and appeal to them for the reasons James O’Brien raises here.

Didn’t government and Downing Street staff collaborate the story before Cummings even mentioned it. Sure the Guardian and ITV News both broke the story, Cummings just agreed it was true and added he was in the room when it was said.

Yeah… but the EU is dealing with corruption. It really isn’t the line of attack someone thinks it is when you look at the behaviour of our own government. Lying to the queen to illegally prorogue parliament. Lying repeatedly over partygate. Writing off Covid fraud so their mates can get away...

Or the Owen Patterson debacle where the Tories tried to retrospectively change the rules to bail him out. Or the breaking of the ministerial code by various Tory MP’s for things that not that many years before would have ended said MP’s career, only to be ignored and swept under the carpet.

We’ve left, get over it.

Meanwhile the governments attempts to create a phoney culture war among the working classes continues

It’s about this time of year I separate from the wife and kids in the evenings and weekends. They’ve started their Xmas film marathons at evenings and weekends. They’ll literally watch anything on Prime, Netflix and Sky movies with anything in the title that is remotely linked to Xmas, including...

Imagine a world where politicians are held to a basic code of practice. We could call it something like a Code of Practice. Something that the government couldn’t ignore. We can but dream.

They know they’re out at the next election so they’re making hay while the sun shines for their buddies regardless of the damage it can do. They’ve got the plebs to pick up the cost of that. Same as last time.

I don’t think it’s a waste of time but you’re right to raise private aircraft. I was reading something a while ago that suggested that all the private aircraft in the world create more carbon than all commercial aircraft every year. Granted a lot of that is going to be pleasure flying in two...

TBF considering how things worked out they did us a favour in the end. The mess ACL was in probably would have bankrupted CCFC too. Lucky escape if you ask me.
