📹 “We cannot balance the books by cutting off the heating for our pensioners. Labour has to find a better, fairer way.” RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch calls on Labour to relax fiscal rules and to introduce wealth tax.

This is what happens when you back Labour to get the Tories out, instead of backing a socialist party like Workers Party GB. Voter's remorse.

There’s no need to “balance the books” UK govt is not a household It can never run out of £ nor go bust Labour lies, wants AUSTERITY cuts, privatisation, tax increases Spiteful attack on the universal #WinterFuelAllowance What is achievable is affordable #MMT

It was to pay your membership a pay rise, own it

Our members haven't had a pay offer, let alone a pay rise!

How about getting BP, Amazon, Google,Vodafone etc. to pay the correct amount of tax they owe ! 🤔

Micks now trying to shift the blame for massive payrises onto govt when we all know pensioners are paying his members above inflation payrises.

but you told us to vote for them Mick.

labour’s bitch boy

A better, fairer way starts with understanding how gvt actually spends rather than sticking with Thatcher's deceit which has dictated the rules ever since. Taxes have a role but that doesn't include funding spending.

There wouldn't be a £100Bn a year black hole in the #UK economy if we hadn't left the #EU. 🪦 #Labour's supposed 'tough choice' of putting up taxes or bashing pensioners is the result of #Brexit. 🪦 To stop killing our trade with the #BrexitDisaster we must #RejoinEU.
