Time for steel
VOTERS are crying out for a strong Prime Minister to confront the hard-Left union wreckers bringing misery to Christmas.
Emergency laws, to make it harder to strike and easier to replace staff who do, look vital.
リシ・スナック should not just be considering them.
He should be enacting them now.
We suspect public patience and sympathy for 印象的 workers will not last.
Reasonable people know that a country brought to its knees by COVID そして 戦争 cannot afford inflation-busting demands from public sector staff, many already on enviable pay-and-pension deals.
Nor can a PM surrender to militants using skint families and stricken firms as cannon fodder in their political war.
It is repugnant to see them lead hundreds of thousands of workers into co-ordinated walkouts blatantly aimed at forcing out an elected Government.
The union thugs know the money they seek isn’t there.
They couldn’t care less.

Rishi must now show some Thatcherite steel.
He has rightly focussed since the すぐにそして大幅に debacle on rebuilding the Tories’ reputation for economic competence.
But that alone won’t be enough.
His own ratings have risen, but his party’s are dire — as Thursday’s Chester by-election defeat underlined.
Voters want life to improve.
They crave a leader tough enough to ensure it:
A PM who will stop illegal migrants landing on our shores.
Who will make our streets safer by forcing cops to get off Twitter and patrol them.
Who will sort shortages in the crumbling NHS.
Who will follow through on promises and use the commanding Commons majority he still has.
His MPs are despondent.
いくつか, 含む サジド・ジャビド, have had enough.
そして リシ will not secure another term by appeasing a centre-left audience already sure to vote 労働 または 自由民主党.
The only route to an economic and political uplift is a muscular response.
Start by facing down the union saboteurs.
Pump pirates
THE outrageous rip-off on our forecourts is crippling drivers and the economy.
ザ・ RAC せい retailers for profiteering as the global cost of oil has plummeted.
FairFuelUK too reckons they have used the spike in prices since Covid, and especially this year, as cover to triple their margins.
The case for a “Pumpwatch” monitor to ensure fuel comes down as fast as it goes up has never been stronger.
It would show whose side the トリース are on too.
How about it, リシ?
Cheer we go
FOR all our troubles, they could be worse.
Ask the Germans.
You could be spending this weekend weeping for your once-great フットボール チーム.
Instead of roaring on England’s mighty young Lions v Senegal.
いい加減にして, lads! Do us proud again.
