If we're to keep a FPTP voting model and continue the tennis match of Tory and Labour then no, a truly left wing party will never get anywhere in a liberal democracy. I think this is why Lynch is an effective union figurehead though, he understands politics does not begin and end at the ballot box, he and the RMT I believe have been a very annoying thorn in the side of the government this past year.

Good union man but like so many an easy target for the likes of the Sun and daily mail. A long time ago I was a member of ASTMS, leader Clive Jenkins. My branch shop steward was a young lad who had been voted young trade unionist of the year, invited to the TU Congress and introduced to Jenkins. Small talk followed then Jenkins asked “what branch are you with”?, “Telecomm’s” was the reply. “Telecomm’s !!! You don’t pay my fucking cigar bill.” End of conversation. ‘It takes all sorts’ as they say. Not since Ried have I heard anyone as near his style until Lynch.

Many people don’t seem to understand what Mick Lynchs job is. He’s there to do the best as he sees it for his Union members just like other notable trade unionists in the past like Derek Robinson and Arthur Scargill did for their members in the Car Manufacturing & Mining industries in the 70’s & 80’s.

All power to Mick Lynch and the RMT. The guy is unshakeable because he speaks from a position of truth. Let’s not just fight for RMT workers but ALL workers or deserve a fair pay for the work they do 💪🏻

Holy cow, raising all boats? I haven’t heard that phrase out of a public official in a decade.

Love Mick Lynch. Nobody can get the better of him. He knows the score.

Apparently not, what has he achieved for the railways workers through the current strike action ?How long has it been going on ?

[@MsCharlieBrown78]

@@jjefferyworboys8138 it will go on for as long as need be. it's the government who keep stalling things. They've given themselves big pay rises and increased their expenses, yet anyone who wants a 5-10% pay rise in accordance with inflation are asking too much and will crash the economy. Good job some of us can see the woods from the trees.

Love watching Mick Lynch stand up for the masses ... He should replace the Labour leader who is a closet conservative

[@bojack-horseman]

Mick Lynch for PM ❤

[@davelocke]

Concerning that Lynch can be so right on many issues but then still doesnt want to admit the obvious, Labour (new Labour as it stands) is not remotely left anymore.

This type of punishment has been happening for years. In prisons if you had a riot,then it wouldn’t be long before budgets were reduced and accusations of incompetence would arise and the Governor would move on.

Lynchy, what a legend!
