#WinterOfDiscontent - not even since Heaths 3 day week have we seen a Gov so collapse the system. #NothingWorks

Earlier, I heard a brief mention of bus drivers being on strike tomorrow. Turns out that, contrary to that reporting, it's some London bus drivers, so nothing which affects me… #WinterOfDiscontent

Sober reading material.

Why we strike. The people speak.

@1970sLondon is a must follow if you grew up in or around London in the 1970s.

Although James Callaghan actually never said 'Crisis what crisis' it was generally accepted as a reasonable paraphrase & did him a lot of damage at #election time... so perhaps #RishSunakPM's similar declaration, will haunt him in a way that will look quite familiar to those of us who lived through an earlier #winterofdiscontent?

What will 2023 bring?

A continuation of the #winterofdiscontent as Govt. continues to think playing hardball is a vote winner for its supporters;

real #wages continue to fall - PWC predict a fall to 2006 level(s);

More #economic stagnation (#recession) as #BrexitReality continues its programme of national self-harming;

#infrastructure declines further as absentee owners suck out money;

#ClimateCrisis worsens while Governments (again) kick policy changes down the road.

Ambulance strike in Uk, at once completely understandable and at the same time utterly terrifying. Time the government started acting like grown-ups and having a conversation about pay and recruitment across the health sector. #WinterOfDiscontent #Strike #UKNews

@missmelanieh I think that a lot of people have prepared ahead for a #WinterOfDiscontent this year. I did my shopping last week.

Why have paramedics been downgraded to ambulance drivers? The BBC using AD all the time. Is it a directive from in high? It has to be deliberate to make them appear menial. Shabby behaviour. #NurseStike #NursesPay #ParamedicsStrike #WinterOfDiscontent

It's being called the "Winter of discontent" in the United Kingdom.

Public sector workers are striking to demand better pay and conditions. Strike actions have been announced by nurses, rail workers, postal workers, firefighters and more.

FRANCE24's correspondent in London, Bénédicte Paviot, tells us more.
