RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch has told Sky News that Labour following a “fiscal rule set by the Tories” isn’t going to provide “enough revenue or money to fix the country’s problems”.
“Many of cities and communities are crumbling,” said the union boss as he called for a wealth tax on the super wealthy.
He said Chancellor Rachel Reeves “has a number at her disposal, the problem is that she’s chosen to declare that she’s not going to use very many of them.”

This punk is taking the pension winter payment for his train driving chums
Micklynch, as red as they come. We;re back in the 70's.
Co Co the Clown is planning more strikes if he doesn't get his way, back to the 70's me thinks !
Who would ever have associated a Labour government with Stalinism. I'm already sorry I voted for two-tier Keir.
Giving away billions to overseas net zero projects isn't helping.
Commie
Lets stop funding war for a start and direct that money to infrastructure and investment.
One of the very few if ONLY person whose an actual human being thats allowed on MSM that speaks about problems and how to fix them.
Who else even comes close? No one.
Immigration over the fears of the working class. And still the Unions back them…
steal it from the poor pensioners and give it to the train drivers ….
He bangs on about Ukraine yet obviously knows NOTHING about it. Yesterday's speech was pure propaganda and projection
I think Mick should be prime minister, he has common sense and is for the working class.
The winter fuel cut is a LABOUR policy. Their mask has slipped badly.
Mick cut himself and the train drivers a nice big slice of the cake, he even took the crumbs the pensioners get.
Mass redundancies on the railways coming. No investment reduced footfall. So union fees will drop. Then the rest of railway workers will be 40% tax rate. It’s a win win.
What do these millionaire union bosses know about poverty.
About as much as the millionaire traln drivers
He needs to get back in his Roller and get back to his mansion.
Tax havens
Lynch still pushed for a lot more money for his members. He's a Marxist and wants to see the UK fail.
There will never be enough money to fix this mess. The tories know that, hence they didn't even contest the election. Instead they will focus on dishing the dirt in the hope of getting in next time round. Dishing the dirt and putting the boot into public sector workers is what they do best. Running a country is what the can't do because there is always someone with fingers in the till
income is income whether it is paye, interest on capital or capital gains. all should be taxed as part of total income at the appropriate rate.
Tory lite
She also represents her palls and backers, doesn't 'she'. No, much easier to squeeze the easy targets, as always.
Middle classes to be screwed
Mick Lynchs train drivers will be eating well whilst pensioners freeze to death.
Just listen to this greedy pratt
Socialists don’t do pensioners, they mostly vote Tory, cost money and don’t contribute to Labour’s collective ideology!
Used to think LYNCH was a GOOD GUY !! THEN I GREW UP !! DINGHY DIVER LOVER
This guy Lynch should talk about his members increasing productivity rather than sitting on their *** and getting above inflation pay rises. In the private sector, they would be fired after a month or two.
Well he fix his own problems the unions get over 20% pay rise anyone else in the private sector get 20 25 % pay rise I done think so 😂😂
