Is today the day when the #NorthernIrelandProtocol problem will finally be laid to rest?

Speculation over the weekend that #RishSunakPM has neutered at least some of the resistance from the DUP & ERG factions, would suggest it will... but there's many a slip twixt cup & lip.

Equally, while this will be good to have finally sorted out (leaving various mendacious steps behind) its not a silver bullet for the UK's ongoing #economic problems.

It was always more a symptom than a cause.

#PMQs translation:

#RishiSunalPM - @UKLabour are on the side of their 'union paymasters' = #KeirStarmer is speaking for normal folk who work in the #publicsector....

#RishSunakPM - and I'm on the side of 'patients' = I'm on the side of my private #healthcare paymasters waiting to treat those #patients

After over a decade it is clear across a range of data that... THE #NHS IS NOT SAFE IN TORY HANDS!!!!

We are running out of time to stop the wreckers!

If you think #class politics is a thing of the past, ponder this:

#RishSunakPM has seriously considered (but for now seems to have drawn back from) banning certain #workers from joining unions; which is essentially a ban on 'collective action'.

Now look at #financialservices - an entire industry whose bedrock is various forms of investors' collective action; from fractional shareholding to investment trusts, all of which is incentivised by the #tax system.

#classwar is here & comes from above

Although James Callaghan actually never said 'Crisis what crisis' it was generally accepted as a reasonable paraphrase & did him a lot of damage at #election time... so perhaps #RishSunakPM's similar declaration, will haunt him in a way that will look quite familiar to those of us who lived through an earlier #winterofdiscontent?
