We agree with Sir Keir Starmer when he says Britain needs fundamental change[/caption]
But while we applaud the early part of his conference speech — that people have lost faith in politics’ power to improve their lives — and the conclusion, where he promised to make us happier and richer, some of the meat in the sandwich was more dubious.
SURRENDER to the unions and they simply come back for more.
Aslef and the BMA rapidly secured mind-boggling pay rises from Labour.
Now the RMT’s Mick Lynch wants nothing less than “the complete organisation of the UK economy by trade unionsâ€.
The 1970s were a bleak, violent decade of economic collapse, endless strikes, power cuts, the dead unburied and the Government begging cash from the IMF.
But it was a golden era for the unions who all but ran Britain via Labour.
Keir Starmer must never let these wreckers take us back there.
Police farce
WHAT rank double standards by the Met, banning cops from wearing a badge commemorating fallen comrades.
The public is fed up seeing police Âforces virtue-signal their support for trendy liberal causes.
Yet for Met bosses this simple Thin Blue Line emblem is somehow a step too far.
But it is neither political nor “contentiousâ€, as Met chief Mark Rowley claims.
