. Government puts up, without fail, rail fares by RPI each year. Yet the workers are denied an RPI based pay increase. The government has roundly lost the argument on these strikes, but they press ahead for political reasons.

Emma this is so unfair. I’m a Lib Dem cllr, I did ‘work experience’ for a day with my local MP (a Tory) when I was 16. It was nothing to do with party politics, I had no idea what my beliefs were then. If anything spending time with Tories helped to solidify I wasn’t one.

Hard to stress how utterly disgusting these comments are. People were not allowed to attend funerals to say goodbye to loved ones, while he is trying to claim it was fine for him to attend drunken leaving parties. He’s self serving, he’s vile, and he has to go.
The PM says some events identified in Sue Gray's report were held for the purpose of "saying goodbye to valued colleagues".
He adds that "some people will think it was wrong even to do that" but "I respectfully disagree."

Zahawi sacked. Fair play Sunak has shown how ruthless and decisive he is by dithering and delaying, taking up multiple news cycles, letting it drag over PMQs…before doing the only thing that was an option.

What I don’t understand about the Tory approach is that presumably a ‘win’ is workers admit defeat and go back to work unhappy, underpaid, undervalued, under-appreciated. And those are the people who then run our hospitals, schools, transport, etc etc. Just get round the table!
The Tories have given up on governing.
They need to start negotiating to resolve pay disputes and prevent further strikes for the sake of our economy, our public services and for working people.

One thing I’m fed up with is it being ok for Ministers to just resign their post but remain as an MP. Some behaviour should disqualify you from public life, not just the cabinet. Goes for Zahawi too. Quitting the cabinet is a cop out.

I’m not certain why people really need to hear this, but if Labour went into the next election on a promise to revisit Brexit, rejoin the EU or SM etc, it would allow Johnson to campaign on his one and only winning ‘get Brexit done’ ticket again, and Labour would lose.

Sunak needs to get a grip on energy prices, and windfall taxes. Working people shouldn’t be subsidising multi-billion pound profits for oil and gas companies. Seems obvious to me, but maybe it isn’t when you’re already a billionaire.
