'Blame for Brits in danger of freezing to death at home lies with Tory ministers'

Should people tragically die during NHS strikes, responsibility lies with dogmatic Tory Ministers who stubbornly refused to find common ground.

If politics are being played in the wave of workplace disputes hitting Britain, it is being played by the Conservative politicians who foolishly and nastily rejected negotiations with the very nurses and ambulance crews they publicly clapped during Covid then slapped in the face with a massive cut in living standards.

Decent, fair-minded people everywhere want Tory Ministers to open pay talks in good faith with nurses, ambulance workers and others to avert this week’s walkouts.

Failure to do so will leave nobody in any doubt where blame leads and it is directly to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his Cabinet Ministers, a scheming bunch of Tory anti-worker fanatics who cynically know the price of everything and the value of absolutely nothing.

With the whole nation crying out for a negotiated settlement, continuing to stonewall would be Rishi Sunak’s gravest mistake.

Brits in danger of perishing from the cold

Shivering and freezing, living in homes where ice is on the inside of windows as well as outside, too many Britons are in danger of dying needlessly from the cold this Winter.

When Britain remains one of the world’s top dozen largest economies despite 12 years of Conservative austerity and mistakes, it is unforgivable that so many are dangerously cold rather than safely warm.

The lack of money, poverty, hardship and grotesque inequality are the root cause of this misery when the UK Conservative Government is fostering division and assisting the richest to be richer at the expense of much of the population.

To be warm is a basic human right this Tory Government is breaching by failing to deliver.

The World Cup Final

The World Cup should never have been sold to Qatar but a wonderful tournament on the pitches finished with arguably the best ever game of football in the history of the sport.

Argentina’s ageing superstar Messi lifting the trophy despite France’s young hero Mbappe scoring the first hat-trick in a final since England’s Geoff Hurst in 1966 was football coming home...to Buenos Aires.
