Ha ha ha! So much for Labour dealing with strikes.  GPs next I believe as well as other civil service workers.

GPs are already taking action, a kind of 'work to rule'. It's in protest at the new terms given to them by NHS England, this happens every year. It's bad timing for Labour, who want to increase the number of GPs by shifting resources from secondary to primary care, and that may well still happen. Doesn't seem to be Labour's fault, although they will need to get NHS England to review this year's contract at some point.

 

Labour are allegedly planning on making it easier for workers to unionise, though the detail isn't out yet. That will ultimately lead to more strikes, so I'm not sure Labour are measuring their own success by minimising the number of strikes. It will also lead to a more equal share of wealth in the UK, which is likely to have many benefits that are in line with what Labour want to achieve.

Like this, I hope.

 

It will take a while to undo the shameless cronyism of your mob, but we’ll get there.

 

Once we aren’t funnelling taxpayers money into the pockets of the over privileged, there should be enough to pay everyone a decent wage.

You should hope so too.

 

Paying people a decent wage is good for everyone.

it'll always funnel its way back to them, prime example the Entertainment and Gambling Companies that leached into Labour pre-election all those lovely freebies starmer enjoyed, all that happened is we switched out one blue set of servants to the privileged, to a red set.

 

Ordinary Man, Woman on the streets will benefit no better however much they get, there is always a hidden way to squeeze it back.
