Did you know the typical maritime/shipping job is worth £12k more than average annual salary.
The sector has 650,000 jobs in & deals with 95% of goods entering UK.
Tomorrow is #MerchantNavyDay please remember the invisible service

A Nurse can buy a single sandwich for £3 in the hospital cafeteria and she has to pay.
An MP can get British Beef and potato paprika goulash for £3.19 and then make you pay.
They also get free parking and Nurses pay £1300.
I know who deserves a pay rise.

When sky news broke the story they never showed Sunak walking back to gaslight the poor woman
Here’s the full original story sky news ran of which the clip was uploaded from
Either way he still bloody laughed in her face about the NHS & still walked away before being sent back

🚨Rishi Sunak Heckled
Sunak just had his Gordon Brown moment
On a walk around in Winchester where media weren’t invited
He laughs uncomfortably at a woman who wants the NHS back , she says her daughter waited in A&E for 7 hours
HE RAN AWAY 😵

Liz Truss spent spent 49 days as unelected prime minister, in which she sent the pound plummeting, knocked 40% off pensions and forced mortgages through the roof. Her index linked pension has just been increased to £125,000 a year.

On Wednesday the right to strike is being voted on in the House of Lords, if it fails Public Sector employee's will be banned from striking.
If you support the right to strike like I do give this a RT
We have had this right for 170 years they cannot take it away.

Dear Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's, Lid, Aldi, Waitrose, Morrisons, and all other stores that have self checkout.
You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now.
The lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping
everyone.
I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already
🛒 filled my cart
🛒 emptied my cart
🛒 scanned the items
🛒refilled my cart
and so I just skipped the exit line and left.
I heard her saying "umm - Excuse me " as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.
You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.
I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.
• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's vour problem not mine.
• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.
YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.
YOU DON'T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU.
Signed ....All of us
These are jobs that are needed to have for young and old

"What has this government got against clean water?"
Damned good question.

Living standards are expected to fall by 6% over this fiscal year and next as inflation outstrips income growth. This is less than the 7% fall we expected in November but still the largest two-year fall since ONS records began in the 1950s.
