Having a strange day find out about an offer via the press when those who sent it had been told that I was unavailable this afternoon so knew it was unlikely to be picked up? First knowledge is when our media people asked for comments in response to questions from the press.

1/Just to put in context all those misleading statements and comments by Tory MP’s and media who really could pretend to journalism. We did not seek pay for the two years of covid the next two years where they wasted billion in their political dispute we take a real terms cut.

Let’s not forget when John Major forced through privatisation of the railways he said competition would drive down fares. Obviously twenty years on it has not worked time not to blame the workers but time to change the model.
