Sunak will force the army to work over Christmas rather than give reasonable pay to public service workers 🤬

Its time MPs wages were slashed in line with everbody else's.

The fact that practically the entire country is on strike, and that there are over 2 million people in the UK who are freezing inside their homes because they can't afford the heating is a shameful indictment of this government. It's a total political failure.

This afternoon, thousands of postal workers descended on Parliament square.

Rishi Sunak wants to pit strikers and the general public against each other.

Today’s enormous demonstration sends a clear message: striking workers *are* the general public. Ignore them at your peril.

Have a huge amount of sympathy for GPs but having spent most of the day dealing with what should be a very simple issue, can see why people get frustrated/ angry. Its also easy to see how division of labour & getting it wrong first time (& subsequently) doesnt help workloads😬

The government's answer to my written question, prompted by a frustrated would-be battery storage company.

It's an answer, but not what you'd call taking ownership.

Therese Coffey says it’s not govt’s job to help out food banks.

What she means is that the Govt created the mess- mass poverty, wage cuts, underfunded the NHS, highest inflation for 41 yrs, tax cuts for the rich.

BUT its OK for people starve and die.
