Saying all the things that Starmer is too scared to.

Couldnât agree more. Heâs articulate, keeps his cool and calmly destroys them with facts.I watched him last night on Peston, where he told Robert Jenrick a few home truths. I would love to see him in a one to one with Johnson, he would destroy him.
Sooner or later Starmer will have to pick a side because this wonât be going away, itâs not going to stop with the rail workers. Other industries, whether it be health workers, lawyers, teachers etc, who are all balloting on industrial action, know that they canât afford to let the rail workers be hung out to dry because it will be them next. Apparently the MPs who defied Starmer and showed solidarity by joining picket lines have been told to publicly apologize for doing so or they will be disciplined. Shameful.
The government have effectively declared war on organized labour, the unions, and working people in general. They and the media, with a couple of honourable exceptions are trying to turn Lynch into the new Arthur Scargill hate figure(who was on picket lines yesterday, well into his 80s), but itâs not working, people can see through it now, theyâre not daft. This week Johnson personally lobbied for, and had the cap on bankerâs bonuses lifted, they are truly taking the piss, openly mocking us.
Shamefully, the government are using the P&O playbook, even though it was illegal, with Shapps leading the condemnation of it. What hypocrites they are. Itâs what is happening at Gatwick, where hundreds of staff were sacked, with a plan to replace them with agency staff on worse terms, hours and conditions and the minimum wage with the results we are seeing now, nobody wants to do it, they canât get the staff. As Lynch explained last night, this is exactly what they have planned for the rail workers, at negotiations yesterday they were starting to find some common ground when the employers negotiators left the table to make phone calls, (to ministers?), came back and gave the union a take it or leave it deal, 2% with an extra 1% which is dependent on thousands of compulsory redundancies starting on 1st July. All ticket offices to be closed, all train guards scrapped. How could any union leader agree to that?
This is a declared war on working people, sooner or later Starmer is going to have to shit or get off the pot. He is terrified of getting the Daily Mail, Express, Sun treatment, and is desperate not to upset their readers and the red wallers, who will never vote Labour again anyway, they are firmly entrenched in the Blonde Mussoliniâs camp, his biggest fans. This is going to be an interesting summer.

In response, Lynch changed his Facebook profile pic to one of Piers Morgan cheerfully posing for a pic with Ghislaine Maxwell. Class.

Nice to wake up to, watch QT from last night, Mick Lynch was superb, knows his brief and destroyed the tory with well thought out and articulate responses to sheer stupidity.

More than a little pleased with the Tiverton and Honiton result.

As good as it is to wake up to 3 bits of good news Johnson is so thick skinned he still wonât resign
He doesnât give a shit - he certainly couldnât give a shite about the party. He has got the role he always wanted, he is not giving that up voluntarily
I am beginning to wonder is he is actually a conservative - more selfservative.
He is a cuckoo - sat fat and happy in someone elseâs nest , fucking it up for everyone

And yet people will still vote for his party whilst he is at the helm, go figure!

Erm, the alternatives are even worse? 
Looking at the Tiverton result I wonder how much was down to Tory voters staying away - the voter turn out was 17k down on 2019
Also interesting that Labour ceded the campaign to the Libs given that in the last two elections they were far more dominant than the Libs

I expect Starmer will be crowing about how people are returning to Labour values, even though he doesnât hold them.
Glad Boris got a bloody nose, but Boris won that by-election for Labour, not Starmer.

ironic - Boris won the By-Election for Starmer and Corbyn won the GE for Boris
Is anyone going to win an election on their own merits?

He is a libertarian piggy backing the tories.
You like Boris more than Starmer, proxies like Ukraine and Russia/UK.
Nope, Starmer won the GE for Boris.
He was the one that unilaterally put a second referendum on the table. Corbyn did very well in 2017 when promising to respect the result, despite the party apparatus trying to defund marginal campaigning.
No doubt there are some utterly stupid cunts out there who hated on command despite not having a scooby about who he was beforehand, but thatâs propaganda baby.

I love Rosie HoltâŚ
The amount of people that take her for a real MP is sadly indicative of our country.

WellâŚthat helped didnât it. 
The doctors have taken the go big or go home approach to wage negotiations- 30% - that is a strong opening gambit
I am not sure comments like â it will cost each of us millions of pounds over our careersâ is going to elicit much sympathy from the man in the street

Blimey. Thatâs quite the point to pick up on!
Iâd rather see someone earning millions for doing something useful than say, the parasites who make their millions from just being rich in the first place.
Can we have a callout for greedy landlords next? Theyâre almost as bad as them doctors!
