Daily Express: Don't blame UK's finances for not fixing pension injustice!

So, one month after Labour take power they acknowledge the state of the UK's finances, as if Labour recked it, but no blame for the state of our finances or pension injustice to the party that's been in government for 14 years!
They keep quiet about how bad the economy and finances were when Cons/Lib took over in 2010.

Lettuce Liz says she had to walk off the stage for security reasons. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

She then went on to compare far-left pranksters to far-right knobhead lunatics that throw bricks at police and set fire to buildings with people in them!

I think it's high time she gets locked up in a secure unit for her own safety, before she gets any worse. :mrgreen:

Over 14 years of Tory government, thousands of career criminals with over 50 previous convictions have been escaping jail. One month out of power and it's all change - people getting banged up for a first offence. :D

We’ve solved the strikes by agreeing to pay what the Unions want …

ASLEF/LNER: oh no you haven’t, we have found something else to strike over!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Shush, don’t say we didn’t tell you so😲

Train usage has dropped dramatically since the pandemic and needs to be reformed. Governments already heavily subsidise the railways, and an unconditional wage rise just makes things worse.

Over £50k per year for sitting in a chair all day with a couple of levers in front of you, and still they moan.

Just sack 'em all.

The average train driver will now earn £69,500 for a 4 day week.

As expected, Labour have their tongues up the Unions backsides.

The government revoked minimum service level legislation. So that's freedom to disrupt for unions. Slippery slope from here.

As soon as they caved in so easily to the junior doctors it was obvious this was going to happen. :roll:

OMG, apparently train drivers who have left employment will get the pay rises backdated! And XXXX are demanding a matched odder! Just how naive can this Government get?
