Rail strikes and traffic warnings continue

Summer getaways and weekend plans could be severely disrupted today during a fresh round of rail strikes - with an "amber traffic warning" also in force on the roads.

During the pandemic, the rich got richer and the poor got poorer. It needs to be turned around now.

Solidarity with all the union fighting for a living wage and end the profiteering.

Good for the workers. They have any right. The Tory government has to go.

But the privatised railway companies still made millions of pounds of profits even though people were told not to travel, at the peak of the pandemic… they’re all right, Jack.

Poor get poorer and the rich get stupid rich, welcome to England!

Why don't the railway staff strike like Japanese bus drivers? They run the service but for free, so they're not collecting money for the company.

Stammer is more right-wing than the conservatives - so good luck with that!!! Solidarity.

All that money and profit and I still struggle to get my bike or a seat on the train. Maybe some of it needs to go into infrastructure including the coaches for bicycle users and average person who needs a seat of course and leg space if tall like me. Preserved lines better.

Last Wednesday Can't Shapps aka Michael Green, demanded Starmer sack Sam Tarry. Apparently, Starmer follows Tory instructions. LABOUR needs a real leader not a fluffball.

There is demand driven inflation and supply driven inflation. The inflation we are experiencing is supply driven, meaning the economy is producing less stuff, there’s less stuff to go around and that causes the price of stuff to increase.

Resources are scarce, and finite and these rail unions are demanding that their consumption stays the same, and everyone else should have less.

With finite resources they are trying to take food from the mouths of others.

If they want more money, then they should add more value by working longer hours or learning skills.

Instead they are adding to the problem by being less productive themselves, and damaging the productivity of other sectors by disrupting commuters and freight. Well done to them, how altruistic of them

Solidarity to the strikers! We’re all sick of corporate profiteers robbing the British people blind, enabled by the evil Tories.
