  1. Who am I going to take the word of? A trade union representative or the barrel scraping of a minister put up by this disgraced Tory party? #RailStrikes #GTTO

    While I completely understand you're frustration (I had to take two extra days off to make my last trip) your anger is better directed at the Mangers at the DB, who give themselves hefty multimillion € bonuses each year while claiming there is not enough money for their employees, instead of at your fellow workers at the union.

  3. Sadly, I'm leaving #CPC23 early, tonight, missing @RishiSunak's big speech tomorrow The reason? Two simple words: #railstrikes Our railways must get sorted out. They can't keep crippling the country. Network Rail should be renamed #Notwork Rail - until it starts working again nitter.hongkongers.net/benedic

    I love how the headline slants the blame on workers, rather than the business who underpay their employees.

  5. Interesting. Two different train managers on our TGV to Paris have dropped by our carriage so far. Not checking tickets, just checking everyone's OK, fielding questions, spotting if there's any trouble. And yet in the UK we want to abolish train managers.

    I felt first hand the impact of the #RailStrikes today.

    Multiple train cancellations, severely overcrowded trains, and in one case staff actually having to ask customers to remember to flush the loo

    At first, I was your average angry at the unions. Then I realised the rail operators made the same profit today running fewer carriages but cramming us in like sardines.

    All whilst their mates in government blame the unions and the staff doing their jobs.

  9. On Thursday the RMT, which represents station staff and onboard operatives, carried out a national strike, with two more days of action planned on ...

  10. Prime example of why we still need rail ticket offices. Ticket machine this morning wouldn't accept my card with the booking ref for a ticket booked on my behalf. Ticket office sorted it instantly.

  12. Pledge number 4 from the CONservatives is to make NHS waiting lists fall and provide the care that people need.

    Their "promise" in December 22 didn't even last 6 MONTHS before they reneged on it.

  15. Trying to plan #train travel to UK in February (because #FlyingLess).
    Anyone have any idea if #RMT #RailStrikes have been scheduled for February yet and where I might find information - not getting much on a #FWSE?

    Also #UKBorderForce strikes? Any further details?

    Fully vaccinated against everything so hoping to avoid encounter with #UKNursesStrike... 😬

  17. I was so impressed with Mick Lynch, Frank Ward and Mick Whelan at the Select Committee yesterday. If only we had the quality of these people as MP's. If only. #RailStrikes #Unions #MP's #ToriesDestroyingOurCountry #SelectCommittee #ParliamentTV #Fediverse #Mastodon

  18. Everything that’s wrong with Britain summed up nicely by the scum front page. Keep diverting attention away from the problems Rupert, let’s make the peasants love the new ponce in chief. Forget the crumbling health service, love the racists, tax dodging, nonce family, as the poor are supposed to. The billionaire is just like you, worried about things

  19. Look we can’t settle fair and reasonable labour disputes, and pay a decent wage. Obviously instead we have to cost the country enormous sums of money, and be obtuse, it’s the Tory way. You knew that when you voted for us, there’s nothing we can do we are literal scum

  24. Following up our thread from last week about the 1983 CPBF programme 'Why Their News Is Bad News', we've written up a longer blog of highlights from the programme. Fascinating parallels to #BBC coverage of current #railstrikes!

  25. "Education is in crisis" in the UK.

    After 13 years of #Tory misrule, can anyone name a public service that ISN'T in crisis?

    A friend suggested "the BBC", but while that may not currently have a funding crisis, it has plenty of problems created over the last 13 years.

  26. I’m looking for UK small business owners to comment for an Enterprise Nation article on how they are being impacted by the rail and postal strikes.

    Ideally looking for Enterprise Nation members but not essential.

  27. The fundamental problem in Britain today isn’t strikes, it’s an economy that makes strikes necessary – record numbers are seeking help from Trussell Trust food banks..” theguardian.com/commentisfree/
