Oh I’m sure, you’ll find support every where, I should have said it’s not overwhelming support which is a divide the tories are going to want to prise open.
I’ve no doubt if I was an RMT member I’d be fully behind the strikes too. But as an outsider I want to be supportive but am struggling - (hands up to any ignorance here) - Lynch’s points seem fair, but, we’re post pandemic, numbers are down, we’re all struggling, the economy is shot (etc etc etc) and it does seem reasonable to think there has to be compromise. Lynch doesn’t appear willing and wants his cake and eat it. No government can be seen to roll over if those are the circumstances (?) - there has to be compromise. Again, I apologise if there’s plenty of compromise already and it’s passed me by, but it’s a message that Lynch needs to get out there loud and clear to get/keep people onside.
Of course, but there’s a balance. He has to hold his position as a negotiator but present as being reasonable too. My view is he’s doing very well at the former, but not so good at the latter.Lynch is an effective trade union negotiator, he’s not going to go around telling the world his compromise position because that becomes the new bottom line. There will be something that he knows is probably going to resolve the dispute…if he goes public with that then the employer/government will try to push that down.
In the face of some very inane questioning, I think he comes across as very reasonable.Of course, but there’s a balance. He has to hold his position as a negotiator but present as being reasonable too. My view is he’s doing very well at the former, but not so good at the latter.
Was all this at the time that he claimed that he had no idea that Brownlow was funding his flat renovation?Our reluctant hero had plans drawn up for a £150k tree house at chequers for his son. Lord Brownlow was going to pay for said tree house.
Plans were abandoned after
a) fat Alex and Carrie Antoinette were told this was quite a bad look
b) it was briefed that the tree house payment might just possibly be a declarable donation
c) police explained the treehouse could be seen from the road and would need bullet proof glass at great extra expense.
Still, I’m sure those plans were drawn up for free and at no expense to the tax payer.
No, but it was at the time that he said he needed four more members of staff at Chequers to look after/babysit him.Was all this at the time that he claimed that he had no idea that Brownlow was funding his flat renovation?
Sounds like a job for Dido Harding...Probably has a mate who builds treehouses, actually knowing this lot, he'd give the treehouse job to an accountancy firm.
Well, she’s been open that her life is for rent.Sounds like a job for Dido Harding...
