Love to be lectured on ‘responsible’ (upper limits on) public sector pay by a prime minister who’s testing it (at the lower limits) to utter fucking ruin.

“Union boss calls Rishi Sunak deluded.”

What… just the one? Oh, I think not.

Motion to start referring to #strikes as “Action short of a resignation”. This is an intervention by #workers, where #employers are breaking their own organisations. It is not an attack: it is a fair, and even generous warning.

#UKGovernment attacks on the #RightToStrike are the economic equivalent of disabling the fire-alarms because the boiler’s belching out smoke.

I somehow can’t find the energy to clutch my pearls over hungry people stealing food when a government minister - a former chancellor, no less - has been caught ‘carelessly’ robbing the exchequer itself of millions of pounds. #EatTheRich #VandalGovernment

Unholy BASTARDS!

@drboothroyd Never a truer word spoken. Suppressing legitimate #tradeUnion action is about as effective as caging the rats to stop your ship sinking. #strikes #unions #vandalGovernment

“Mr Barclay said people with conditions like heart disease had been reluctant to come forward for support at times during the pandemic - and this was a major factor in the demands now being seen.”

Cool story, Mr Barclay: I’ve been on a waiting list to see a cardiologist for well over a year. This isn’t about patient behaviour: it’s about reduced capacity, you absolute vandal.

I can’t believe we are having to fight for a #livingWage for the jobs and sectors that we should value above all others. A living wage is the bare minimum for jobs that we, as a society could probably dispense with. It shouldn’t even be in consideration alongside the kinds of demands and responsibilities that go with health and social care, emergency services, education, or any of the key sectors that every one of us depends on. This is pure economic and social VANDALISM.

“The UK’s problems will not go away in #2023,” says Rishi Sunak… and as the first and foremost of the UK’s problems, he ought to know.
