11:34 pm
containers and have already turned away three containers to other ports and will probably continue. i don't know what it will mean in terms of supply chains, as and when the strike continues because of course we are highly dependent on ships for most of the things that we buy. i do remember that we had the fuel shortage, if you remember, because that was coming in on ships and ship got stuck in the suez canal. our attention turned a lot to see freight and this is on the minds of many of us, asking for a fair pay rise, but their strike will cause problems. rise, but their strike will cause problem-— rise, but their strike will cause problems. rise, but their strike will cause roblems. , problems. indeed it well. geri, i want to get _ problems. indeed it well. geri, i want to get your _ problems. indeed it well. geri, i want to get your thoughts - problems. indeed it well. geri, i want to get your thoughts on - problems. indeed it well. geri, i. want to get your thoughts on bass, the broader political point, the series of strikes over the summer, it is something that she so nak or liz truss will have to do something

11:37 pm
this endless health service, they are not so much as leaving in big numbers to show us how unhappy they are. we have a crisis in all our public services at the moment and it is all very well sorted saying well, we can't afford to pay these public service workers but we see in the private sector people are constantly getting bonuses and being rewarded, actually, for the worst service, and our public service workers are trying to give us the best service and they are constantly being passed over, and again picking up on geri's point, i think all i hear is sympathy for all of theirs, and i think the media and the politicians have got it wrong on base injudging the public mood. brute have got it wrong on base in 'udging the public mood.�* the public mood. we are moving to the public mood. we are moving to the front page _ the public mood. we are moving to the front page of _ the public mood. we are moving to the front page of the _ the public mood. we are moving to the front page of the independent. the front page of the independent and, geri, it looks at this car bomb
