Obviously have a very strong union to maintain that level of manning

Must have a good union with that level of over manning

It was the onset of war rather than it’s prospect that significantly increased TU power, labour shortage is a outcome, bodies in uniform and munitions factories. 1915 Treasury Agreement, Emergency Powers Act 1940. Bodies (labour) is the currency of war

Wouldn’t he have to join the Party or set up his own union and become affiliate member?

Just as Classics, virtually non-existent in poorly funded state schools is a particularly good route for privately educated like Johnson
January 4, 2025 at 10:49 AM
And the table as does not take account of those privately educated to sixth form then switching to sixth form college who will show on University statisticsas state school entrants. University figures give 2023 % of private school students as Oxford 31.4% (slight increase on 2022) Cambridge 28.2%

Or just the public sector per se

Obviously never heard of an ‘introductory offer’ as practiced by Sky, Netflix, magazines and even the Daily Telegraph. Market economics for subscription and membership fees.

A great British institution, world leading even, by John Montagu - 4th Earl of Sandwich - with deep ties to gambling industry

Thank you Mr Clough

Probably best is Tipton: Modern Japan Social and Political History. Academic book not cheap. Alternative Harding History of Modern Japan in paperback

Much harder to achieve than pantomime student union posturing

So Arteta can confine his team talk to “lads, it’s Man United today”

Such nonsense. Real reason for unions demographic is continual assaults on unions from 1980s and closely related destruction of large swathes of industry which offered more or less lifetime employment in strong unionised environment - taking the work out of working class

Local authority funding slashed since 2010 and massively distorted by statutory requirement to house homeless. At the same time number of SEN pupils, particularly early years, increase by 100,000+ 2023-24

And, obviously, private schools are not expected to make ‘efficiency’ gains to absorb costs

As a recent study put it’For much of the postwar domestic and international economic policy was subordinated to the goals of foreign policy’

At least not for Kemi

Probably forgot to add tax burden of triple lock benefits, PIP, school meals, post 11 state education,unemployment benefit etc

And she had to seek advice on what unions were and did - difficult to make it up but obviously not a serious student of union busting Thatcher

Most of the skilled, and unskilled I worked with on the building would take, or help themselves to, ‘freebies’
September 29, 2024 at 3:30 PM
Especially what used to be (correctly) termed the military industrial complex which expanded under the archetypal small state, free markets President? Regan

Probationary qualifying year for teachers doesn’t stop them joining union and many of junior/resident doctors recruited by BMA at medical school

Or has young kids
