De Piffle would build a £300,000 fence, paid for by some shady donor who would be ennobled within the year.
And yet if he joined the picket line you would have a go at him for that, double standards and you have a lot in common Pete. lol

They’re going to mess this up. I can feel it. They should be slamming the Tories at every opportunity and standing up for workers’ rights.
They’re pandering to the right wing press.
It’s the only way Labour think they’re electable anymore.
It is what it is. I don’t see this current version of the Labour Party changing anything should they get into power.

Starmer needs to read the mood better, the current trend among its natural supporters is for action.
He doesn't have to actually say he backs the strikes,
but could go in heavy on the reasons for them.
Pay stagnation, less job security, ect.massive rises in the working poor., the rich getting richer when we are told to constantly told your tighten are belts
12 yrs of austerity, for what?
Record borrowing
inflation
real wages down
poverty up
The gap between the top and bottom widening, so much for leveling up.
the list goes on
I would sooner have a northern leader myself going forward,
but we are stuck with him for now.
I don't know what he really stands for ?
he should make it plain his values and get them out there or move aside for somebody who can.
Just not being Johnson is not going to be enough in the long run.

As this article from LSE explains, the "levelling up" agenda has very much stalled, but it has done so in these key areas:
- Child poverty;
- In-work poverty;
- Life expectancy inequalities;
- Unmet need for care;
- Educational inequalities;
- Inequalities in early childhood;
- Homicide inequalities;
well the rail strike has never been a cure all for everything wrong with the problems of modern living, don't think anybody ever said it was, child poverty and in work poverty within the rail industry , cleaners on less than 17k for weekend and night work would definitely benefit from the strike. from there perspective.
it could also be argued that the RMT are trying to lead fight against a government and system that allows all of the above and not just sitting on there bums doing nothing about it,
who do the modern Labour party represent ?
i couldnt honestly tell you at the moment and would like some action to chance that.
historically it should be rooted to the working class but it in its current form seems to have lost its way a bit and needs to reconnect with that, and balance that against being seen as having a wider appeal.

He missed out…
Be kind to people
Be careful crossing the road
Don't drive too fast
Return Library books….
This is his Ed’stone moment…..

I'd settle for anodyne, compared to the never-ending [Poor language removed]-show we constantly have with this decadent government.
