RT @carla_denyer: @RMTunion @GreenPartyTU Confirmed: not just my social media bubble who think @RMTunion #RailStrikes are justified - 58% of the public agree.
The #CostOfLiving crisis is an income crisis. So we mustn't expect those on low incomes in public services to accept a real terms pay cut.

Extraordinary to hear @DominicRaab saying that we have world beating investment
The reality is that Brexit has destroyed confidence in our economy

RT @sarahoconnor_: Really not a fan of all this morally loaded "workers must show pay restraint" rhetoric. It's entirely rational for people facing 10% inflation to try to get a pay rise. Tell them no if you want, but don't tell them they were wrong to even ask.

Unusually strong support for the railway workers’ strike action
People understand that we all need a railway that has skilled workers paid decent wages
We really are all in this together
Great to see people resisting Tory attempts to divide us
RT @SavantaComRes: 🚨New poll🚨
A majority of UK adults say that the rail strikes this week are 'justified'.
Justified - 58%
Unjustified - 34%

For fifty years we've needed to insulate houses, but successive governments have failed to do so.
Attempts to introduce Greener investment in Britain has been scuppered by a shortage of suitably skilled tradespeople.

RT @carla_denyer: Shapps is trying to portray the #RailStrikes as a clash:
commuters & tax-payers vs rail workers.
That’s not how it looks from where I’m sitting.
Govt has provoked this strike as part of their politics of division. No wonder @RMTunion members voted 89% to strike. I support them
