Tory Ministers will be alarmed at the extent of potential strike action reflected in the TUC motions:
The country’s biggest unions demand they work closely together to maximise their impact and “win” the fight for inflation-related pay rises. theguardian.com/politics/2022/…

The move, which includes the two biggest unions, Unison and Unite, comes amid growing anger at the government’s failure to agree a detailed package of help for families following Friday’s announcement that average gas and electricity bills are to rise by 80%.

In response to govt plans to cut 91,000 civil service jobs, the First Division Association, representing senior civil servants, is calling on the next prime minister to abandon the “destructive approach of arbitrary job cuts”

The Public and Commercial Services Union calls on the TUC to “support industrial action aimed at preventing job cuts and coordinate such action with other unions in dispute where possible.”

With unrest spreading, the GMB union is set to ballot more than 50,000 school support staff on whether to accept a £1,925 pay rise offered by local government employers. The GMB is also balloting more than 100,000 local government workers over their pay deal.

Even the Royal College of Nursing is preparing to consult its members on whether they would be prepared to take strike action.

Tories still voting for their new leader!
Government sources said the likely winner of the Conservative leadership contest would be ready to hold an emergency budget with measures to help people with energy costs “very soon” after the winner is announced on 5 September.

You'd think, after 12 years in govt, Tories would have rebuilt good policies for all parts of UK; the first priority - to provide security for everyone.
Now they reveal they only get working when events 'happen' to THEM: covid outbreak, brexit fall-out, Russian greed, Trump!

Tories always plead ignorance of what might 'happen'. Instead they cause chaos, with no plans made with those who can deliver them.
Sacking 91,000 civil servants who are not directed efficiently, if at all, because Cummings once said they were not to his liking. Not a Policy.

While Tories have made no good policies to make UK stronger, they made endless unrealistic promises to cover up their failed whims - or those of focus groups.

Tory government is always unstable, unlike Thatcher's it u-turns every week. General strike? #GeneralElection asap

However, Tories will hang on in govt 'because they have a huge majority' in HoC.
They will use the force of laws to ignore the inevitable chaos they caused. The future for UK is bleak in Tory hands.
It's not democracy, it's dictatorship with a smirk. 43.6% dictatorial majority

Sadly, major parties have not supported #ProportionalRepresentation while they were in government. So UK is stuck in the political dark ages while most countries use modern election policies.

First-past-the-post voting keeps useless parties in government; and Tories really are!
