It seems like the PM role and the rest of the rest of the cabinet has been filled by a series of Indecisive Daves, pandering to anything that'll keep them in a job rather than following some (albeit questionable) principles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I can't find a clip but I've just heard a recording on LBC of Eric Pickles being asked yesterday what would happen to ET if the top rate tax cut was reversed. I'm pretty sure he said something like 'she'd be dead in the water without a paddle'. Oops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love how he thinks that the paddle makes a difference in that scenario. Up there with "here's twenty quid off your tax bill, thank me later". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTG Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 1 hour ago, 101 said: Genuinely what is there to cut? Wages. You can expect to see salaries frozen and a recruitment hiatus whilst the older ones retire disgracefully. There will be massive amounts of strike action - perhaps accompanied by a change in the law to enable any public servant to be sacked for striking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This u-turn is entirely on optics, not policy so I'd expect a significant reduction in the Labour lead back towards hung parliament territory. Optics is correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Kwarteng dropping hints at the end of his mega-budget about making it more difficult for some sectors to strike, but somehow I can't see them sacking half of the NHS in one sweep should they decide to strike in unison. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I read a wee nugget at the weekend. More people voted for the postal workers to go on strike than voted for Liz Truss to be Prime Minister. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be massive amounts of strike action - perhaps accompanied by a change in the law to enable any public servant to be sacked for striking. I think this is the end game for them with workers rights At will employment In United States labor law, at-will employment is an employer's ability to dismiss an employee for any reason (that is, without having to establish "just cause" for termination), and without warning,[1] as long as the reason is not illegal (e.g. firing because of the employee's race, religion or sexuality). When an employee is acknowledged as being hired "at will", courts deny the employee any claim for loss resulting from the dismissal. The rule is justified by its proponents on the basis that an employee may be similarly entitled to leave their job without reason or warning.[2] The practice is seen as unjust by those who view the employment relationship as characterized by inequality of bargaining power. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poll showing Labour on 50% was an outlier, the poll showing a 19% lead was more in line with trends. I think the Tories will claw some of that back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"for every staff member that strikes, a bed in an intensive care ward shall mysteriously lose power" Probably then 'justified' by the decrease in pension payouts and energy bills being able to part-plug the deficit, as part of a greater-good economic growth strategy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
