[Rail strike will force trains to stop as
early as 8am on Christmas Eve
heaping more misery onto families
travelling to see loved ones]


This terrible for folks
Mick said a few weeks back they would shut down at
around 5PM on the 24th

At least the buses are running and here in London the underground is working.

Haven't heard that plank Mick Lynch being called 'very intelligent' of late.

I am hoping those who praise this idiot see what I see. A true idiot. A dinosaur.

Mick Lynch
Live on ITV1HD London news

Said he phoned all the train operators
asked do they have mandate?
they said no.


He will not agree to no train staff
and he will not agree to ticket offices being removed.


He seems to be talking sense.

Comrade

I am No Comrade

But Mick is talking Common Sense

Mark Harper Transport Sec

That's just what someone pretending not be a comrade would say.

Mick Lynch is Talking Calls Live on LBC

Until Midday

Mick Voted for Brexit

So Slim
he is most wise

Do you still think that brexit is going well, comrade?

Of Course, it is not.


When Starmer takes over in 18months or so
it will improve


He understands loads of Labour Voters
demand Brexit to carry on

How can he improve something that was always set up to cause damage to the country?

I understand that lots of labour voters wanted it at the time, but recent polling shows 66% want back in to the EU. I know Starmer won't do that, but there is no way it can be improved without aligning closer to the EU, which is the opposite of brexit.

We will find out,
in January 2025.

Cool, but I was asking what you think.

Brexit is our Future
UK will make it work

So let me make a concession. I believe pushing for a 2nd ref was something people like me got seriously wrong, but just wishing it will work isn't going to make it happen, I'm afraid.

Project fear has been proved project the ghost of Christmas future at every turn. you can't make something work, that is by it's very nature, against the interests of the country.

Yes, wasted alot of time.

Didn't waste any time. You had a brexit government, and even farage and Mogg said there should be a 2nd ref at different times.

GMB Union doing another 6 Strikes
dates to come soon

Rail strikes have cost the UK more than settling the disputes months ago would have, rail minister Huw Merriman has said.

The strikes have cost the UK more than £1bn, he conceded to a committee of MPs.

However, he said accepting the rail unions pay demands would have set a precedent for other public sector pay disputes.

He also said the future of train operator Transpennine was under review.

When quizzed by the Transport Select Committee, Mr Merriman said the rail strikes cost rail organisations £25m per day on week days, and £15m per day on weekends.

He cited a report that found the strikes had cost the wider UK economy £700m from June to Christmas.

This has added up to a more than £1bn hit to the UK, he conceded to Labour MP Ben Bradshaw.

"If you look at it [through] that particular lens, then absolutely, it's actually ended up costing more than would have been the case if it was just settled," Mr Merriman said.
