Unions’ real motivation to strike is to damage the Tories politically in election year
Labour has admitted that, if elected, it intends to turn Britain into a paradise for the comrades
Wreckers’ plot

Now the RMT, after Christmas and New Year break from their incessant walkouts, plan another series next week almost entirely closing London’s Tube.
Why? Because the five per cent pay rise the Mick Lynch mob have been offered, above 4.2 per cent inflation, still isn’t enough.

An innocent postmistress falsely accused of stealing, marched off the premises, torn from her kids, convicted and slung in prison with child killers.
All because of a nationwide computer flaw her bosses refused to admit to.
Read her heartbreaking story on Pages 12 and 13.

Stripping her of that ill-deserved bauble won’t compensate victims like Janet. But it’s a start.
