Jeremy Corbyn didn't need it or seek it. It was a spontaneous act generated by a crowd of young people genuinely enthused by a politician for the first time in their lives. Corbyn offered them hope. Starmer offers them more austerity and more of the same neoliberal shit. https://twitter.com/iain4europe/status/1603036369642823680

'Cost-cutting measures not only undermine workers’ pay and conditions; they put your safety at risk. All this is a slap in the face for a general public already subsidising the bank accounts of the shareholders at rolling stock companies.' https://tribunemag.co.uk/2022/12/rail-nationalisation-public-ownership-transport-christmas
@julieleygibbs I locked my account a while ago after employer used me moaning about management b.s. as grounds for disciplinary.

My Sister became a Nurse at age 16 (a Cadet Nurse as they were called then). That was in 1967. She’s 71 now, and still working as an NHS nurse. People like her, with their dedication to duty & caring for others is priceless but nursing salaries have dropped to a level 20.54% below the value they were when the Tories came to power in 2010.
