He’s at it again - “speaking for” his constituents.

I do not support these rail strikes. These people should be thankful they still have a job. Thousands lost theirs during the pandemic and it's not as if they are on low wages either. But we all know this is not about wages etc, it's about the unions trying to oust Boris from no 10 |
No, this is about striking for better pay and working conditions. The fact that the government is rightly feeling the heat is literally the government’s own doing. Not to mention, Mick Lynch being a bit of a star, for calling out and cutting through the BS of our media.

I'm not hugely excited either way by the strikes, cautious support is prob where I'm at, but Mick Lynch has been a genuine star in putting the point across and debunking ludicrous tory and media coverage |  |

I apologise for not making it clear that I agree with anyone, of any political persuasion that is against the current RMT union strike.
So hope that makes it more understandable. |
Do you actually know what the strikes are about?
Probably not, because our current media doesn't explain those things, other than in culture war terms.
For someone supossedly so caring, in a profession where carers are routinely exploited and in many cases not allowed to unionise, you have some unusual views. | |

Indeed. Always good and refreshing to see what real democratic representation and a refusal to play the political game look like.
We’re talking about systemic failure, which the opinion-makers and opinion-takers in our media are almost totally incapable of addressing. | |

Utter turd.
This is, by some margin, the worst government in my living memory. |
It is, essentially, a UKIP government. |  |

These strikes, whilst completely understandable, are a bad mistake.
They are a huge propaganda boost for this sh1tty government, just what they needed when even rightish wing Tories were getting fed up with them. |  | | |

Is it a propaganda boost?
The strikes of the 70s (that probably had even more to do with the global economic situation) fell somewhat unfairly but very squarely on the Labour government of the time. | |

You mean the £124,000 per year Mick Lynch - chew him up and spit him out - where is language like that going to get us. Someone else on here is predicting a riot!!!
We never learn from history do we. For the socialists on here - strikes never benefit the labour party and never will.
Yep it is a period of hardship for all of us; it happens one or twice every generation whoever is in power. Us old enough have seen it all before; nowt is new, just the reaction to it all. I remember beer and sandwiches at number 10 with Harold Wilson (my first political hero) during the seamans strike in 1966 - nothing has changed. As I have said before - there are 65000000 of us on these islands and just 650 Mp's. As decent citizens most of us control our own destiny - just stop blaming others ALL the time for your individual plight.
I will do everything I can to help those less fortunate than me - and so should we all - simples. |
"Just stop blaming others ALL the time for your individual plight"
If this is your view, then why are you voting for the Conservative Party? They've been in power for 12 years yet everything that goes wrong is apparently the fault of the last Labour government, the EU, refugees, civil servants or the boogie.
"Personal responsibility for thee, but not for me" would be a good slogan. |  |

Just because Tobias Ellwood would like that to be true it does not necesarily make it so.
Rail union workers striking this week are "Putin's friends", Tobias Ellwood has claimed.
The senior Tory MP said that the disruption caused by this week's industrial action, the biggest on Britain's rail network for 30 years, was distracting the Government from the war in Ukraine, a fact the Russian president would be "enjoying".
That's a Government, by the way, that the Transport Secretary claims is not involved in the dispute. |  |

I do agree to an extent that the timing of this, just before 2 by-elections, probably plays into tory hands. The thing is, that their 'it's all Labour's fault' schtick is so utterly transparent that most people can see right through it. | |

There is more to the world than party politics. These are real people with real lives having their pay and conditions come under threat. I don’t think they really care if their action could potentially rally the core conservative support years out from a general election, they are fighting for their living standards now. |  | | |

I suspect if the workers get an improved pay offer that goes some way to improving the real terms pay cut they've been offered, they won't give a crap about how the government are perceived. This is about them after all, even if their complaint has been hijacked and politicised. |  |

They are just embarrassing.
One Tory yesterday was having a go at Mick Lynch (Lynch was as always superb) by moaning that veterans couldn't attend their get together due to the rail strikes.
Of all the stuff that is important here, living wages, setting precedents, redistribution of wealth, the country being brought to a halt, they have to play the UKIP card of suggesting Lynch hates veterans and wants those who fought for their country to suffer.
But then again with no transport working they couldn't really build a case for Lynch letting in more foreigners, but I'm at least surprised they didn't at least claim that hundreds of Afghans would no be free to bike over the channel straight into London, or something equally absurd. | | | |

Maybe they think it is a necessity right now, but the only way that they will get a realistic assessment of their pay and conditions is by getting rid of the Tories, particularly this strain of Tories. | | | |

I know I’ve bored everyone to death with freight prices but this is the real cause of inflation, energy and Ukraine are incidentals.
Anyhoo - Biden has addressed this matter in USA so I had an idea to contact my local MP and after about two seconds decided it was a waste of time as Hunt the Runt is genuinely thick as pigs.
But……this afternoon I had a thought, because our head office is in Norwich I had the great idea of contacting Clive Lewis who is the MP there.
Guess what - I get an automated email back saying that because of staff shortages and staff training Clive can not deal with anything until 29th June.
What the hell do these people do - aside from sweet feck all. |  |
