saying we will go on strike, does not matter if we have to do so illegally. there are rules they have two ca baye to illegally. there are rules they have two cabaye to come in the terms of the turnout. len mccluskey suggesting it some rules are broken, so suggesting it some rules are broken, so be it. the reason they might be able to do that, if it is seen to be palpably unfair they may have public support. that is why theresa may leicester south in such a difficult position. why not prison officers and police officers, why not anyone else? gives scope for the likes of len mccluskey to question the legality. there are questions labour may backfire. we heard one of the shadow cabinet on the today programme. he would not condemn strike action. continuing the theme

of the existing budget, and fewer police officers. already a tangible effect, the way she has chosen to do it, not reflecting well on her. still a government wrestling with a difficult financial picture. the reason the cap was there with the widerfinancial reason the cap was there with the wider financial picture, they have to bear that in mind. if the public decide what she is offering is fair in the current circumstances and the public mood gets behind this, against the strikes, there is a big if. if there is industrial action, what it will come down too, is the people accepting what is fair. financial times with a photograph from france. not identical issues, but similar issues being debated. both sides of the channel, we're talking strikes. moment of truth for immanuel he said he would take on

this is flu season, in australia and new zealand, they have one of the worst winters of all time, they're worried this may be coming to britain, worried about the vaccinations. this adds to the current strain with the funding issue the nhs is facing. more pressure on the government to find the magic money three. the only thing to say, it is september, it is a warning. it might not happen. there is some politics it. simon stephens, the chief executive of nhs england, he can handle himself in the political arena. maybe getting his bid in early. theresa may quite keen not to have everything completely dominated by brexit. she once domestic policy. this is not helpful to her. bill gates once domestic policy. this is not helpfulto her. bill gates on once domestic policy. this is not helpful to her. bill gates on the front of the telegraph. good news: he seems to be saying, and you have

we're not getting much of a pay rise, we are £20,000 poorer per person because of the banking crash. the optimistic note, there are systems in place which means it will not happen again. lots of people look at this, they don't think the bankers have paid. you have a right smile. that is the bit i do not believe at all. he says there are safeguards in place. everything you hear about the way the banks are behaving again, regulations. there have been changes since 2007. you speak to people in the industry, they are really worried. the banks may not be lending, but the level of credit, people are being allowed to borrow. a lot of people are worried, we are in a perilous situation again. i'm glad he's being straight with us. others like him to tell me where i can get my 20 k from.”
