Maybe, but I doubt he will call for a public inquiry into the Battle of Orgreeave.

Nice bit of cognitive bias, “oh look over there Keir Starmer won’t call for an enquiry on something that happened 40 years ago”

Do you not think that given the problems people are facing today, it might not be high on the agenda?

Thank God all these strikes - nurses, doctors, driving examiners, ambulance drivers, firemen, postmen, teachers, train staff etc etc will come to an end when Labour are in government. They will come to an end when labour are in government, won’t they? Someone? Anyone?

That’s odd, one of the reasons Mottie voted for Brexit was so people would get higher wages

Now it seems Mottie isn’t in favour of higher wages.

Well, Kier will pay them enough not to go on strike. He will pay them enough not to strike, won’t he?

Arthur Scargill was attacked and ridiculed in the right-wing media for saying that Thatcher's objective was to destroy the British coal industry.

But he was right.

It depends on the fiscal budget that is available. A complete unknown until he is in power.

The so called pay review bodies associated with this sort of area are effectively controlled by what the gov will allow which is dependent on their budget which is set well ahead in time not accounting for any finance area whoopsies that may crop up. ;) eg massive levels of inflation and Truss like farces.

A possible solution is staged increases over several years so that budgets can cope.

There is also the headline inflation feature. Say years of 2%. Problem - specific stuff always increases at a higher rate - often essentials.

Yes, they've had 14 years to sort things. If they bankrupt the country there isn't much anyone new can do.

Also had a world recession, a pandemic and a war. Next. What would Labour had done different?

If they can't mitigate external factors then they are even worse. Give someone else a go at it.

Yep. Let Sir Kier have a crack. He has all the answers and won’t make any excuses. He does have all the answers and won’t make any excuses, will he?
