Mick Lynch is an experienced union leader but there are three reasons why he can deal with media nonsense and contrary voices so easily, in contrast to politicians, commentators and business representatives who usually flounder amateurishly. (1/4)

#RailStrikes
1) Lynch knows that what he is saying is both factually correct and consistent.

This contrasts with conservative voices who know what they are spouting is pack of lies and drivel, and comically inconsistent. (2/4)

#RailStrikes
2) Lynch understands fully what he is talking about. His knowledge allows him to counter any derisory interruption.

This contrasts with conservative voices who know only a few mendacious soundbites with no in depth knowledge, and this causes them to fall. (3/4)

#RailStrikes
3) Lynch speaks sincerely; he believes in all the points he makes.

This contrasts with conservative voices who believe in nothing and are just playing a part for money. (4/4)

The reason 322 MPs voted against feeding children was not about the money. The Tory government has splurged billions on wasted Covid-19 contracts for their mates' businesses and are sending Britain into a Brexit economic hole.

Their vote today was an ideological decision.
The 322 MPs objected to being seen to compromise. They object to giving any inch; they object to any appearance of changing their minds. They think such consistency of cruelty is a sign of strength; it isn't. It's a sign of cowardice and weakness.
322 MPs in the Tory party don't want to ever allow their opponents to be seen to be right. Even if some Tories agreed with Labour's bill, they would still want to demonstrate that they, the Tories, cannot be persuaded. (Five Tories did vote for the bill.)
