    Tories have been in power for 12 years and have an 80 seat majority. They don't care about these strikes, because its in their interest it goes ahead so they can do their usual and create division and blame everyone else.

    The Daily Mail's front page headline yesterday saying Labour isn't working, when the Govt haven't lifted a finger to try and negotiate or prevent it. Not one meeting in the last week between RMT and the Government to try and resolve this strike.

    But yeah... Starmer's fault.

    Millions will read and believe it. As I've said many times - people aren't too bright in this country.
    That’s a somewhat arrogant post. The government can be blamed for some of the country’s ills but certainly not all. The RMT are a pack of selfish, greedy tw@ts. They deserve to be broken. If they win, it will just drive up the cost of living for everyone and there are very many groups a lot worse off than the train drivers. That’s my view anyway, as one who didn’t vote Tory and as someone who was an office union rep.

    The cost of living crisis is not down to railway workers. Its down to contributory actions from the Government.

    I just don't get why or how Starmer/Labour can receive any blame for this situation - unless you read the Daily Mail and believe it of course.
