    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    Yes agreed, I think our overall more tolerant and diverse society is no longer compatible with their hardline policies and they've failed to adapt and will pay for it at GE.

    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    Yes and in normal times an equal amount of those getting older will lean right to replace those no longer with us. However as you say, with this lot I don't think it will be balancing out like usual.

    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    ASLEF announce five days of strike action on LNER due to potential implementation of Minimum Service Law

    Do you 'need' to shoot down people fighting their cause? Or indirectly criticise aslef's strategy which is the same thing. From checking out your online profile I can with 99% surety say you've applied to be a driver and failed. Keep the faith, one day you may be amongst us.

    Aslef strikes and OT ban called…

    Here he is. I'm sure you said the same about the RMT dispute? You seem bitter about anyone's plight to preserve or improve their living standards and I find that 'baffling'. I'd say that says more about you than the ones taking action.

    Freightliner Various Trainee Drivers

    If there is a course running currently in Reading for the Mendip work, do you think they may stagger the upcoming courses. I.e the next one be for non-Mendip work depots so as to not flood it with trainee's or does it not work like that?

    Not great reading for us in the pool if vacancies are being filled en masse with qualified drivers. I was also told in the DMI that it would be a matter of a few months.
