Total respect to the network rail strikers....Don’t let relationships fail, keep

[jedqarmy]

All workers do deserve the right to a living wage solidarity with all workers they don't go on strike through choice they go on strike through necessity

[kellymckeever.]

Government need to stop giving tax breaks to private schools....
Solidarity to the strikers..

[anthonywilson]

School deterioration does not happen overnight. So many things have been ignored by this govmt now it is all coming to a head at once. They are out of money, out of ideas, out of talent and out of any plans. Total capitulation by their own incompetence.

I wish Rishi Sunak needs ambulance, nurses and there will simply just refuse him..his party it’s just a joke

[CimonSowel]

SOLIDARITY ✊
If people are upset they can't get Xmas shopping to feed their consumer needs then they need to rethink their value to society. This isn't just about pay its about working conditions and better living standards in general if nothing is done it will get worse. We have an non elected PM seated in Parliament who signed off checks during covid and now Tory peers have millions of pounds in their account. Who's being took a lend of us The working class.

[funkhouse]

Rise and Fall of the UK 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Taxation for the rich, difficult to comprehend

Government for the Rich

[Jun]

Yes!!! Strike for your rights to a better working environment and efficient pay!

[AldousC]

Heh... The reporters blame the strikers then talk about crumbling schools with no mention of government incompetence. Funny that.

[karljosephburrows]

general election now, so we don't have too listen to this bull

[alansdorsetfossils]

To call off a strike the day before it's due is too late. It's a political posturing.

[chelloandra]

after 10 years + austerity Tories thought they could afford Brexit …..yeah well, they can but the workers cannot. I left UK the moment Boris got his majority- knew would be downhill from there only. WORKING POOR UK that is the utter disgrace of it all !!!

[jamescooke]

What I don't get is the cost of yjr demands just yet pushed onto fares next year. I don't understand how this helps the working man.

[КГБКолДжорджКостанца]

Fight and never stop, Putin sends his regards

[hayleydoherty]

Problem is this the nurses will give up striking before the government will give in x

[dominicthomas]

I am not working today because of this. It needs to end.

[huwzebediahthomas]

More bad organising. Almost deliberate, one could maybe think. It was bluddy cold, wasn't it, to be hanging around in the open, not moving? Terrible organising, no thought for the punters. 00:04:21
