There must be a reckoning with the Tories when this lousy pandemic is over. The cuts to the NHS made the death toll higher. Boris Badenough voted for austerity time and time again. He claps for the NHS these days. It's not just "too little too late". It is pathetic.
I am proud of the way the Socialist Party and the Scottish Socialist Party have responded to the C virus. It stands in stark contrast to the record of Sir Keir Starmer to date. The Tories should be facing tough questions "round the clock". Sir Keir Starmer should be "ramping up" the pressure and not accepting any of the miserable excuses from this Eton mess of a government.
The minute's silence for NHS staff should now be followed with outrage at the deaths which could have been prevented with proper precautions.
Now the government is blatantly saying that a return to work will be accompanied by safety measures "which employers deem appropriate" according to the Today Programme on Radio 4 this morning.
The RMT has shone out against the grey background of the TUC. The RMT stands up for its members. The TUC is too interested in cosying up to the government. That is what we used to call "class collaboration".
No return to work, no return to school until it is safe. Until those who face the risks consider it to be safe. The TUC needs to get off its knees.
