‘Until the Tories rectify pay wrangles the wave of industrial action will intensify’

Nobody wants to strike and lose a day’s pay, so the Government should ask itself why people are giving up earnings.

The truth is simple. Workers are tired of being expected to swallow lower living standards and have fewer pounds in their pockets amid a series of pay disputes.

Ambulance staff will strike for the first time in 30 years in the run-up to Christmas, adding to walkouts by nurses and rail workers.

Until the Tories rectify these wrangles, the wave of industrial action will intensify rather than recede under Rishi Sunak.

But No10 is a financial burden on everyone who earns a living or relies on a pension.

Grafting hard is not worthwhile with the Conservatives in power, which is why strikers are prepared to gamble lost pay against future gains.

No one wants industrial disruption but the blame leads directly to the door of No10.

But the response of our health service to the outbreak provides another reason why it requires proper procedures and systems.

The NHS is our most precious public service yet no one can doubt that improvements are required before lives are lost needlessly.
