It’s every week, Colin.
Didn’t notice Sunak resigning his seat when Johnson and Truss were PM.
It’s a truly desperate repetitive ploy.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Well, they’ve got to have something to regurgitate each week because they can’t use ‘ vaccine rollout’ anymore. If I had a pound for every time that was said!
It’s actually insanity how incompetent, inept and downright embarrassing this government has been over the last few years. Get rid of the lot of them, **** them, absolute joke to think this lot are in control of the wellbeing of millions and millions of lives. It’s actually sickening to be honest. I’d like to punch the vast majority of them straight in the face numerous times. Smug, arrogant, disgusting cretins.
They have to go the Corbyn route ….. they’ve nothing else , Sunak can try and distance himself but he picked his cabinet , Braverman will be next …. and then the nurses situation , if they go out … Nurses standing out the front of A and E with plachards … that may well be straw that breaks the Tory back

It shows how hollow the gesture was with the then PM and half the country
standing outside their front doors applauding the NHS for going above and
beyond. It was just a headlining stunt.Nurses
A shame the news progs and the nurses reps dont mention the rest of their benefits package, like being able to retire at 55 with no early retirement deduction applied to their pension, unlike vast majority of similar private sector pension schemes.
Why is it just about salary?Ironic how Unison are currently advertising medical roles away from the UK in their members’ mag? Not exactly encouraging their members to stay.
Plus, of course, the oldest saying, when in employment – “you can always go and work elsewhere, no one is forcing you to stay”.
Hence, why many go to work in the private sector, often in medical roles.I agree.
I mean, a load of people who don’t want to actually have to pay more income tax to fund a proper pay increase for nurses went out and clapped like seals and banged pans like demented chimpanzees every Thursday night at the height of Covid when nurses were risking their lives daily treating Covid patients – what more do those nurses want?
“no one is forcing you to stay”
Shame they didn’t all leave at the height of the Pandemic, then.
That’s people in caring professions for you, I guess, too compassionate for their own good, never know when they’ve got leverage.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"I never stood on my doorstep and clapped. I just did everything possible to not catch covid thereby putting less strain on the NHS. My neighbours who did clap seemed to have a constant stream of visitors. I found it two faced at the time and I find it two faced now. Johnson deflected every criticism of his handling of the pandemic to being a criticism of the NHS. A friend of my daughters, the most committed dedicated nurse you could imagine has left the NHS. It isn’t just about pay ( as is the rail strike) it’s as much about working conditions and patient safety. What’s happening about nurses bursaries as well? People forget that nurses join the profession with a huge debt hanging over them having worked hard on the wards whilst ‘studying’.
The rail strike is about working conditions not pay.
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I crawled on six crooked highwaysHow much did the mini budget cost Wilts. Oh, I forgot the economy was in a mess anyway and Truss and Kwartengs economic plan didn’t make it worse. How much did May pay the DUP to support her lame government? Funny how there is a magic money tree for some things but not others isn’t it.

Sorry, chemo head was on!
Actually the Aslef strikes are about pay.
RMT are about changes to working practices.I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I crawled on six crooked highwaysMoehart it was around 16 billion …. It’s 1979 again …sunny Sunak will be telling is ” crisis what crisis ” shortly , they,’ll talk about burying the unburied dead at sea and Red Robbo will instigate another BL walkout meaning no Maxis or Allegros will built this week , come on weller get the guitar out and comment on the anarchy !!
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
Davies is having a bad day
I have brought it back.
11.1% put that in your pipe Rishi and smoke that.In all my years following politics, I am struggling to think of a more cynical ploy than the one from Jeremy Hunt in yesterday’s Autumn Budget statement.
Proroguing the worst of the book-balancing cuts until after the next election means that –
1. If Labour, as expected, win Power it’s simply isn’t the Tories’s problem and they can walk away from if all.
Or
2. If the Tories somehow become the first Party ever to win an Election following a major adverse fiscal event they have five more years and won’t care how unpopular they are for the first two or three of them and can savagely cut living standards at their relative leisure.
Throw in the fact some economists are saying delaying cuts means the eventual cuts may be worse than if deployed now and it’s clearly an economic strategy that has zero to do with what’s best for the country and everything to do with maximising the Tories’s slim chance of winning the next Election.
