OMG PM thinks Royal Mail is publicly owned!
Q. Why has the Gvnmt not investigated the cack-handed mismanagement of this iconic British service?
A. It is not the right approach to go on strike especially demanding pay ... that is unaffordable for hard working British tax payers'
Strike ballot begins today for 115,000 Postal workers.
Inflation (RPI) is 11%, Royal Mail have imposed 2%. any additional increase is conditional on worse terms and conditions. £400 million created by posties was paid to shareholders!

In 2019 Boris Johnson said he had got “a great deal for the UK”
Now the Government says the deal he agreed & signed is so bad, so terrible, so calamitous it represents such a threat to the stability of the UK it’s legal to breach the very international treaty which created it!

Postal workers always thinking of the community they serve despite 18 days of strike action without pay.
Blackpool’s posties 'held a collection on the picket line to ensure every child who woke up in Victoria Hospital on Christmas Day received a gift'.
After more than 40 yrs in the job it's great to know my job is safe until March. Unless of course I end up with the 'tin tack' for looking at someone the wrong way on a picket line or calling Royal Mail barstewards 🤐

@jeremycorbyn
Those using the recent horrific attacks on the Jewish community to vindicate their false allegations that Corbyn is antisemitic are making a serious and dangerous mistake. The election of Boris Johnson has emboldened the racists. We on the left will fight racism in whatever form.
The debacle unfolding in Royal Mail epitomises all that is wrong with a 'system' that fleeces everything in its wake, with little or no regard for what it leaves behind.
You call it what you like - I call it capitalism!
The most shocking interview I’ve seen this week. Watch this and tell me you don’t think the Prime Minister & his Attorney General should both be thrown from office immediately
Reporter: "The Royal Mail have said to their staff they can't fly the England flag during the world cup, do you think that's good or bad?"
Footie fan: "f#@< Royal Mail, up the CWU".
Result 😅🤣😂

reckons Corbyn is mirroring Johnson with 40 references to 'people' in his Conf speech - bizarre.

Absolutely the narrative should be changed from how women protect themselves from male violence to the origins of the violence. I'm shocked and ashamed that it is so 'normalised' that I wasnt even aware of the impact on my partner.
As Postal workers 'voted for industrial action by 94.5%, on a 63.4% turnout.' 'Union chiefs say posties could deliver medical aid, check on the elderly and vulnerable ...'
This could be a massive lifeline to hundreds of thousands at a time of huge crisis.

In Royal Mail, we have the most vicious dispute in decades. Thousands of jobs being axed, outsourcing, recruitment at lower pay & longer hours, influx of owner drivers, allowances & agreements torn up, dozens suspended. Make no mistake this 2nd strike ballot is massive. Tune in⬇️
Unbelivable and an unmissable. Boris Johnson admits to "arrogant toffishness" which led to smashing up restaurants, but hey - it was "fun at the time"

Well it didn't take long did it!
The day after the election it was announced that every A&E target had failed, and Damian Green MP said on LBC radio that we should have an insurance system to pay for our care.

WOW - 97.3% Vote Yes to Strike on a 70.2% turnout - Now that's what you call a result.

What is most 'disturbing', instead of taking it down, Julie Burchill limits any response to people who share her filth!

After 18 days of strike action, your Postie will be balloted again for strike action! Management are determined to drive wages down by paying new recruits 20% less for longer hours and hiring thousands of self-employed owner drivers.
