I'm not entirely convinced that strike action should be used in this way. It's too easy for the Tories to point at the docs and blame them for waiting times going up.

Not his style.
What a shit show. There is absolutely no political talent in Scottish politics these days.
I'm confused about this. Striking is used as a means to bring the employer/government to the negotiating table, but there is no government until after the election, so what's the point?
Labour love's a good purge.
My personal opinion, which I accept is not universal, is that this has damaged Labour far more than the Tories. This is a perfect example of putting party before principles.
"What do you mean you blew the entire budget on developing the balloon?! What the hell are we going use for the payload???"
Tch, you won't get far in politics with that sort of reasonable attitude and sense of proportion.
Ffs, guess we wait and see who's on the ballot for Hackney then?
Her remarks were a bit ignorant but she rightly apologised for them.
Compare that to Natalie Elphicke who tried to pervert the court of justice by influencing the judge to let her husband off with sexual assault. Result? Welcome to the Labour party Ms Elphicke!
I'm not sure "nobody believes" them, you and me might but the general population is a broad spectrum. Waiting times for routine appointments are already at an all time high and some of that is due to industrial action, this proposed strike will make that worse.
Striking is an important tool for workers to be used as a last resort to bring an employer to the negotiating table. That's not the case here, there is no "employer" as such until after the election, so what's the point? Simply 'raising awareness' is a pretty poor justification.
