Definitely needs equivalency adding into law that below the threshold means the contest is considered invalid.I disagree. The rules governing strike ballots are wrong not the ones governing parliamentary / local elections.
Legislating solely about anti strike nothing to do with democracy or fairnessAnd equally you could say if people don’t want to strike they can vote against. The fact is most either don’t find the time or aren’t bothered either way. Which is fine and they defer their vote to those that do.
Why is it only strikes this applies to? It’s clearly an attempt to put thumb on the scale against a yes vote.
Course they can but they would be breaking a strikeIm asking if they can still work and not have this scab nonsense chucked at them

Well to meet the thresholds in the teaching strike ballot we've had to hit a 50% turnout mandate, already 10% higher than for the other thresholds. It also has to be done by post, and even if it succeeds we have to give 2 weeks' notice of strike dates and are restricted to 6 union members on the picket.if hardly anyone voted for the strike I struggle with that in truth
Thought this was a twitter thing where it had been taken out of context but having read the whole thing it’s complete nonsense.What the hell is Starmer on about with this self referral nonsense?
It's sounds like the sort of thing mad nad would come out with if she was health seceratary.

Did nobody think to check with a medical professional before putting that nonsense out?

Self referral for physio is already a thing TBF. And watching the interview he doesn’t actually say self referral for internal bleeding which is what everyone’s claiming.
There’s definitely stuff that could be taken off a GPs plate and for a lot of stuff that’s been ongoing you do end up just having to ask for referral anyway and they give it to you. I’d rather see improvements to pharmacies and things like 111 though.

by clarify I assume you mean somebody realised he'd made a complete tit of himself. Is it common for people who turn up at the doctors bleeding to be sent away with a test to do at home, what are they testing for? The internal bleeding thing was just nonsense, how is anyone supposed to know they have internal bleeding.He has clarified the self-referral thing this morning. The idea is that you can get a test first before seeing a GP where that appointment would just be ‘you need to get a test’. Thus saving potentially unnecessary appointments.
I don’t know how the practicalities of it would work, but it makes sense.
No idea what the internal bleeding thing is all about though, that was obviously a stupid thing to say.

How can you by pass a GP to get a test anyway? Will they all be handed out - at what cost?
I do wonder if the internal bleeding thing was actual rectal bleeding and he forgot the brief - again though you can’t just get a test without a cost
Or just got squeamish about saying “rectal” on TV and tried to make it sound nicer.
Internal bleeding isn’t the same though is it. Tests are supplied by GPS it’s nonsense to suggest hospital specialists can just hand them out or everyone will be bombarding then as it’s free screening for all

Fair enough, I thought, but surely our schools have got bigger priorities than dancing on tiptoes.
Yep if I can. Although hoping we get to 50% and can join in ourselvesOf course appreciate support on the pickets on Feb 1, will know specific schools soon.
Isn't that what the Nutcracker is?You can’t do ballet in chinos. Or at least I can’t.
They’d rather have a culture war at any cost than take a sensible approach to finding a solution. Divide and conquer. Although I think the majority of the country has seen through the Tories and the divide and conquer boat has not only sailed its vanished over the horizon.Quite an interesting concession for him to make. Admitting that 'cracking the unions' is more important to the government than money.
