The tories and their brexit are fecking up the county all by themselves

Tories are going to lose no matter how they play it.

Scared of an organised workforce. The days of serfdom and doffing ones cap are long gone. Bit like all this right honourable and honourable shit in parliament, antiquated, out of place and where the majority are concerned a complete falsehood in term of description

You DO realise that a trade union isn’t some faceless thing, it is an organisation made up of real life people who work and have families and vote and …go on Twitter? And might think they have a right to fight for better lives?

What rot. The unions, unlike the conservatives, are trying to help working people. ToryCriminalsUnfitToGovern ToryCriminals

What stranglehold

They don't have a stranglehold

Similar to the multi-pronged hold this Dictatorship is building against it's people?

Spend a bit more time sorting out the Child Rapists Sex Abusers (Over 7 years) Tory MP who spiked other Tory MP’s and they woke up with Tory MP liking their Nipples, Ect Ect

Miltancy is fuelled by the inflation created by your globalist tyranny. America's proxy war in Ukraine, your destructive lockdown madness, your miserable eco tyranny which has destroyed energy security: they are impoverishing us and so people will fight back as they can.

Hardeep216 The Conservatives would be better spending their time fixing what they have broken. The union members are the ones who have kept the country going. My support will always be with the Unions, regardless of restrictive legislation.

Nonsense

Back to Dickensian workhouses we go then.

Forcing people to work is called slavery grantshapps. Members of the RMTunion will just work to rule or go sick. Some railway workers haven't had a pay rise for 4 years. I'm fairly sure MPs were awarded a 2.7% pay rise this year?

There’s nothing noble about the self-interested actions of the unions. But there is nothing noble about a self-interested political class going after them as no more than a distraction from their own stupidity when they will not deal with the excuses for industrial action either

This would be yet another attack on freedoms in the UK. The UK already has some of the tightest union laws in Europe (& yes, we are still in Europe-brexit has not changed our geography or cultural links, it's just damaged our economic ones).

Tory divisionism and inequality at its finest Fascism is alive and chipping away at workers rights, human rights and democracy.

Graham George Ricketts - Salient Comments & Observations from Sunny EU Berlin What Johnson really thinks of everybody - Cripes!

Trade Unions are the public

A distraction.

The tories are why we have poor pay and poor working conditions, but they’ll tell you it’s because of immigrants.

It's the Tories with the stranglehold on the public. The next election can't come soon enough.

Some ‘democracy’ this…

Just ban striking in public services: rail, health, education. If staff don't like it, they can vote w/ their feet & leave. It seems like many join unions for legal protection reasons rather than to strike anyway. Govt can't allow this country to be held to ransom by unions again

The idea of the mass commute is over AI and WFH is killing it waste of time and too expensive!

Wonder if and when The Tory Party will learn the lesson of Australia et al: in the absence of real policies and answers to real problems, culture war sabre rattling really isn’t going to work.

Great way to get the people of this country queuing to join a general strike. Go on, give it a try and test us. We've all reached our breaking point with you Tories

They want a general strike. I think they might get one.

I read that as he's been put in stocks and onions are being thrown at him 😂

When all else fails.

And they claim to be the party of working people 😂

It's time that this corrupt government's stranglehold on the country was broken

Not an Hope! Maggies been dead a long time!

The stranglehold is by the billionaires that the Tories serve, it's not by people trying to earn enough to live off, or even, earn enough to actually be able to enjoy life...
