This woeful transport chaos, with cancelled flights, airport delays and rail strikes, is a huge disaster from the travel industry and a chaotic Government.
The fact people wanted to get away after Covid restrictions were lifted was completely foreseeable and yet not enough staff have been recruited to replace the tens of thousands axed during the pandemic.
Going to an airport on a wing and a prayer instead of expecting to take off smoothly is a high price to pay for holidaymakers who deserve far better than this.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps should focus on his day job of keeping Britain moving, not forever wasting time trying to save a Boris Johnson who doesn’t deserve it.
Rail bosses negotiating with workers and union leaders, who understandably seek to protect plummeting living standards, could avert train strikes and must start now.
Corporate and political failures are not new but after Covid they are utterly dispiriting.
Useless Tories
Nurses after a shift having to go to foodbank to feed their families is shameful condemnation of lawbreaker Boris Johnson and his failing Government.
Johnson’s moral bankruptcy is a symbol of a decaying Conservative Government unable to deliver the economic prosperity, social justice, real opportunities, decency, respect and security which Britain is crying out for.
Filming the PM addressing a morose Cabinet and reheating old announcements is an attempted diversion by a cynical but incompetent leader. Lines about turning the NHS into a Netflix from a Blockbuster service is another shallow slogan from a hollow regime.
England calm
After fears England fans would bring more shame on the country, tonight’s Munich match was relatively trouble free.
One or two morons were arrested for giving Nazi salutes but the vast majority of vibrant, diverse footballers and fans want no part of it.
