OPINION
Sadiq Khan And Rachel Reeves (Image: Getty)
Sadiq Khan promised Londoners zero days of strikes. How’s that working out? Yet again this week the capital was brought to its knees. Millions of commuters stranded, buses rammed, streets jammed, families late for school and work, while the militant RMT called the shots like they own the city.
We warned this would happen. We said the moment Labour showered the unions with billions, a 15 per cent no-strings handout, your money handed over with a bow, they’d be back for more.

Strikes hit real people, every day. Livelihoods and opportunity being torched. This is the practical price the public are forced to pay.
And it doesn’t stop there.

These pay deals don’t fall from the sky. Rachel Reeves has already dug a ￡50 billion black hole in the nation’s finances and rising borrowing costs mean it is growing every day. We all know what comes next. Inevitably, we will see the fiscal price in higher taxes when Rachel Reeves comes crawling to taxpayers to fill the gap with higher taxes on families who are already squeezed to the pips. Strikes today, tax hikes tomorrow.

The cost is eye-watering. The Centre for Economics and Business Research estimate these strikes could cost the economy around ￡230 million. Investors look at a capital city paralysed on a whim and ask see exactly what Labour's surrender to the unions really means.
And the truth is Labour won’t stand up to the unions because they can’t. The unions bankroll them. Their boss brags about tearing up strike laws, boasting about his power to paralyse Britain whenever he fancies, and Starmer sits silent because he knows who holds the leash. Labour gave in, signed over control, and chose their paymasters over passengers.

Every family stuck in traffic, every worker who can’t get to their shift, are left paying the price. We’ll pay again when Reeves raids our pockets to keep the gravy train running. The Tube strike is Labour Britain in miniature.
Unlike Labour, the Conservatives will always side with the passengers over the picket line, with workers over wreckers, with Britain over the union bosses. We believe in a transport system that runs for the people who rely on it and not one shut down whenever the militants fancy flexing their muscles.
And that’s the point. This a snapshot of what Labour really means the public ignored and the bill shoved through your letterbox. We say enough.
