And labour seem to be shooting themselves in the foot. No surprise there.

It does seem as if they are trying to balance the right to strike with maintaining vital services. The alternative is to make all those jobs like plod - no strikes.

Yes, I read that this morning when doing a bit of research on Canary's post (I think it was Canary.....) and thought YES that's how to handle the militant ***.

If it was so serious for many people, it would be very funny that the Government is so clueless, useless and brainless.
It is almost as if they trying to distract from their trouncing of the economy. Can we sue Truss and Kwarteng for the loss of £45Billion ?

[ToraToraTora]

Wrong post Gromit? This is about potentially suing Unions, do you have any comments on that?

[bobbinwales]

Except, gromit, as newjudge and others keep reminding you ....much of your imagined losses of £45billion dint happen as the tax cuts werent implemented.... so lets focus on the real issues not made up ones or you look silly

[Gromit]

Yep.
Clueless, useless and brainless.

Yep, it was only £30Billion. Let’s have the right to sue them.

// Liz Truss’s disastrous mini-budget cost the country a staggering £30bn – doubling the sum that the Treasury says will have to be raised by Jeremy Hunt this week in a huge programme of tax rises and spending cuts.

The independent Resolution Foundation calculates that the Truss government was responsible for about £30bn of the fiscal hole which the Treasury puts at £60bn, and which Hunt will have to tackle in the autumn statement on Thursday. //

I always find it funny when Tory apologists start making diversionary references (smoke screening) to Labour when they find they are unable to defend their own adored Party.

[ToraToraTora]

Stop lying Gromit, Truss' budget was not implemented.

[youngmafbog]

If that was aimed at me then read the article, labour are mentioned in there.

Thats the trouble with commies, dont look further than the end of their nose.

[Gromit]

The looney budget may not have been implemented, but it forced the B of E to borrow £Billions to calm the markets.

apology accepted gromit. Markets seem alot happer now

[Gromit]

But the Conservative’s reputation for fiscal responsibility is in tatters. And the price tag was £30Billion. Let’s sue.

[ToraToraTora]

17:27, they used QE. Now they'll be doing QT. How little you understand banking, especially central banking.

[Gromit]

Yep.
The Magic Money Tree.

It sounds weird that the Govt should take private action to sue people. I thought the govt made laws and could therefore require compliance or else. Are they copying USA?
