@richardsculley67 the labour shortages were accelerated by the pandemic and Brexit at the same time I'd agree with that But When you move from a roll on roll off ferry transport system to one requiring checks the throughput declines, we are an island by simply slowing down the movement of freight your slowing down the economy all major economies bar the UK and Russia are back to over pre pandemic levels. What's the connection between the 2 countries ? One has trade sanctions foisted upon it by the world for starting a war and the other deliberately put trade sanctions and barriers on itself.

First off railtrack are back in government ownership and secondly the government underwrites the rail industry its a fake to call it private it gets loads of public money. Last year with the help of government subsidies the network made 500 million profit which went to shareholders and bosses with bonuses and a 6% pay rise

Why would you want MP'S affiliated with unions not to show solidarity, its more a sigh of strength that you can have a broad church appeal across multiple demographics

@markbanner6473 the demographic of labour voters is changing if you follow this sort of stuff. Older working men are peeling off and voting on National populist grounds rather than who would be best for thier wallet

@richardsculley67 You need to stop with the conjectures and look at real economic data. The impact on the economy of the Pandemic overall was 2% GDP The impact of hard Brexit is 5% GDP ongoing. Each % point of GDP is worth 8 billion to the exchequer. During covid and hard Brexit we lost over 1 million workers there are currently 1.3 million vacancies the economy cannot grow under the current Economic policies which is why we have -15% trade and a GDP contraction with 10+% inflation looming. The economy still doesn't have the same number of people working in it that it had in 2019 Yes its the governments fault and no its not economic shock from the pandemic

@richardsculley67 bulk of raw materials come through the EU, my wife work's for a small manufacturing company their supplies are from Vietnam via Germany and Poland plus other places. The German distributor has them down the list because of problems trying to supply to the uk as does the Poles small orders have stopped altogether and small batch exports are no longer viable, they've lost 5 staff from 20 and can't find anyone to replace a couple of them my wife is an accountant and there swamped with hundreds of thousands of pages of documentation and endless tax issues round going from 3 vat rates to 27 There are very few companies that make 100% of what it sells if you take a car for example it would has parts shipped to the uk from all over Europe you break that on demand frictionless supply chain and the economy will blow up not all at once but in the slow moving total economic train wreck were experiencing. Go look up what's happening in the Pig industry the whole sector is in economic meltdown

@puckinhell622 When you move from a roll on roll off ferry transport system to one requiring checks the throughput declines, we are an island by simply slowing down the movement of freight your slowing down the economy all major economies bar the UK and Russia are back to over pre pandemic levels. What's the connection between the 2 countries ? One has trade sanctions foisted upon it by the world for starting a war and the other deliberately put trade sanctions and barriers on itself. The 2 areas of the UK that have recovered totally to greater than pre pandemic levels of economic activity are the City which is service based and Northern ireland which has access to the single market

Scargill was stunningly stupid but your wrong about Thatcher, a lot of the economic woes today are the direct result of Thatcherism
