    Current industrial action

    The Conservatives have again fallen into the trap into thinking that the general public believe what the Conservative right wing believes.

    The Tories believe that the rail strike is vey unpopular with the electorate and that it will turn people against the Labour Party. The truth is that the electorate knows that the rail workers have not had a pay rise in over 3 years and that inflation over the last year to date is 11%. Everyone other than Tory rampant right wingers knows that the rail workers have a very good case. Furthermore, the union leader Mick Lynch is well liked by the electorate.

    Any Tory who believes that this industrial action is unpopular with the public and will move the mood of the electorate against the Labour party is deluded.

    As for the nurses they were not luxuriously paid in 2010 under a Labour government but their pay since then has fallen a long way behind the real value that it had then.

    Once again this will not adversely affect the electorate's opinion of the Labour Party.

    There are several other pay disputes that are going to come to industrial action. It is quite likely that the electorate will blame the party that has been in government for over 12½ years.

    There is no conservative right wing, the cons are lib dem. There is no money to pay anyone, thanks to the financial crash, covid and Putin. On the conservatives watch.

    The usual nonsense will happen, the country will recover, god knows when, Labour will take over, and bomb us financially back to 1963. Then they will get booted, the conservatives will take over, rinse and repeat.

    Sunak could not have won the leadership without making concessions to the Right. Hence he had to appoint Right MPs to Cabinet jobs. These included Braverman, Williamson and several others. The Right is running this government with Sunak just a puppet.

    As for Labour you are determined to mischaracterize them. The Labour government will have policies that are just a little to the Left. Thus they will have every chance of getting at least a second term in government.
