'CHANCELLOR OF DOOM' | Rachel Reeves Branded 'HYPOCRITE' Over Winter Fuel Slash

And the freebies. When unions give them money, does it count as a bribe when the government then gives the members of that union a nice fat pay rise? The thing about that is, the railway companies are privately owned, so why is the government giving drivers a pay rise that those private companies then have to meet? The fact of the matter is that the taxpayer now gives more money to those private companies than we ever did to British Rail - which was actually making big profits and was self supporting until Thatcher interfered. Starmer has used public money to give pay rises to the workers in private companies - how is he permitted to do that and why has no MP brought the subject up in Parliament?
