- The Transport Secretary still can't give a straight answer on whether he scuppered talks between Network Rail and the RMT to prevent strike action.

There isn't a bottomless pit of money...unless it's for Tories and their friends.
He's not wrong though - there isn't a bottomless pit of money. The Tories know this because they've dug right down to the very bottom of the pit and shared out what was in there amongst themselves and their friends.
You just know that every Tory supporter will be using the 'pit of money' argument tomorrow.
or a foreign war
A bottomless pit of money to reimburse the train operating companies for strike days, even though they don't have to pay their staff and nobody is reimbursing the staff.
There is only the bottomless pit when it comes to PPE and tory friends!!!!!
@@simonsackett ha ha ha , it would be funny but it’s true , this so serious , the tories are in a fire sale before they go go, RW
"There isn't a bottomless pit of taxpayers money..."
For anyone not named Baroness Mone.
Or Dido Harding
Or friends of boris Johnson
Just imagine a decent society where she publicly announces her share of the profits from that deal then says "I don't actually need the money so I'm donating it to...". Nah, can't see that happening.
38 Billion Track and Trace! 108 ( expected coatings) HS2! Waste our taxes on follies and inept systems but won’t enable the public sector to secure a decent liveable wage. Says all you need to know about these vile Tories.
Pitting the strikers against normal taxpayers by using the same old strategies. People still fall for it.
Mick Lynch just did a BRILLIANT interview with BBC Radio in which he chastised the BBC for asking him a question about "How much money have your members lost thus far in lieu of strike action? " He pointed out that it was high time for the BBC to show appreciation for the doleful position of the workers instead of asking such an irrelevant question. It was great to see that show of resilience coming from him. I support the Strike Action!
I agree, Mike Lynch was fantastic.
I heard that too. Good on him. He was right.
Tore that slag hussain a new one
@@ando1619 : Thanks for the affirmation!

You know you're about to hear a load of old shite when a Tory says "I've/we've been very clear..."
To be fair mate, that was a stock phrase of the Blairite era. But I agree, all politicos who say it are stalling for time.
@@GoldnDusty It was a phrase used during the Thatcher era as well. Thatcher was always "I was very clear about, blah blah blah..."
@@theworldaccordingto4555 Mhm, it’s a long-used turn of phrase, utilised since the advent of broadcast interviews. However, to pretend it’s an exclusively Tory problem does nothing to eradicate it from the political conversation.
@@GoldnDusty Tories put it on steroids to the point it's become meaningless
@@thepodbaydoorshal Of course; they’ve been in power for 12 years. The Blairite governments definitely got legwork out of it, though.
Well done Mick, keep fighting for the workers
Mick is worth a thousand MPs
Literally
I see you are modest, I’d say ALL of them 😒
Mick Lynch will be remembered as a good, honourable man. These tories and journos that are mascots for the matrix will forever be weasels
Lynch is worth jack shit
@@RojoBoxeador yeah good old Mick we care about the millions of people who won't get paid for not getting to work cos of no trains he's on over two hundred thousand pounds a year train driver are earn 60 thousand pounds a year I feel sorry for Mick and train driver's don't give them nothing the nurses yes
Respect Mr lynch keep on bringing this government to account , brilliant
Not really the rail operators is who he is battling with the government are trying to modernise the railway and the unions don’t want any change
@@TheJbsportstech Wrong as usual. The unions have been modernising with the rail companies for years and the dispute is about lots of changed conditions without proper consultation. They just want to introduce conditions without proper negotiation and recompense. Do your research before talking crap.

The fact that he won’t just answer the question means he did…
If he hadn't he would say.
Yep
Totally. He reminds me a lot of the children I teach...they are 7 and 8.
Always mentioning tax-payers like a buzzword to try to make themselves look good
It's tax payer's money.
Exactly what I thought, saying “there’s not a bottomless pit of money for pay rises” I think is a massive attempt to deflect the issue, that profits far exceed the deserved pay rises
@@evolassunglasses4673 the Train operators are subsidised somewhat regularly and yet take large profits.
I think the rail services should be subsided (nationalised ideally) however owners and workers are receiving tax-player money either way, it’s just if it’s fair or unfair
The same tax payers money that pays private companies for running, what should be public services, into the ground.
By not paying for the budget these services require for complete safety and optimisation of purpose.
We have to be stupid to not see through the bs.
They should mention "tax payers" to their donors and cronies.
"Let me be clear"
The only sentence that would have any truth in it is if it was followed by " I'm lying scumbag"
There's a bottomless pit of money for the government to pay rail operators when these strikes are happening.
Or when paying their pals for dodgy PPE. Or when claiming expenses on their stables heating. Or when bribing the DUP to stay in power. Or when letting their billionaire wife pay less tax than me.
And for the executives of those operators to receive millions in bonuses. Likewise for energy companies.
Hit the nail on the head. They have money, they control profits and they are manipulating the situation to avoid giving up a portion of those profits.
Yes, the great train robbery Mk2.
My annoyance at this government has turned to anger and to rage, they think we're stupid, it's only the true blind tory ideologues, the terminally stupid and the tory party who think they deserve power. We need an election, they're just vile.
Well of course they think we're all stupid. We've collectively confirmed it for them over the years by repeatedly voting for the Tories and Brexshit, in spite of the fact that all the lies were extremely obvious and clear. They treat the British public like fools because most of them are.
Who will we get in instead then exactly?
You seriously think Labour or the Lib dems will be any different?

FFS It's just infuriating to watch him again and again refuse to answer a straight yes/no question.
They take their lead from people like Boris Johnson all trained to lie and deceive!
Exactly he just keeps saying a bunch of meaningless words and hopes that people will stop asking him question, classic Tory move
If they didn't insert the driver only clause, he would just say no to the question.
Indeed, the lies are quite obvious
It's also so weird to me that he would do it, and then not own up to it, if they were negotiating in good faith. If he had forced it for some important reason that he believes in, he would've been on those programs saying "I believe in it and it's important so it has to be on the table". But instead he actively avoids saying what he believes in, I suppose because he doesn't believe in anything. It's just about the government seeking power over workers and attempting to turn people against the unions.
@@fang_xianfu Absolutely
@@fang_xianfuit's because the Tories want to scupper a deal. As Mick Lynch has surmised.

There seems to be a bottomless pit of money for shareholders.
Yeh unless the economy crashes and shares go down and then share holders lose money, if they didn’t make cash when it was high shares wouldn’t work would they come on
@@TheJbsportstechHas to be a cut off point for proviteering. Latter must not obtain humongous wealth from and on the back of the poor becoming poorer.
Workers make the profit and should receive a share of that profit.
Grave 2022/23 workers have to battle for a decent income to provide a life for themselves and family. Greed, humongous out off control greed and not from workers nor unions. Fact.
@@lindacurrie8817 if everyone gets 19% where do you think inflation will go?
@@TheJbsportstech it would help if this govt would negotiate with the nurses. They don't because they want these strikes to go on and on and hope the public turn on the strikers. This just shows how desperate these tories are. They think public will then blame Labour so they can close the gap on them in the polls. What a way to run a country. Its true what they say. Tories put their party before the country. Spineless and shameful.
@@TheJbsportstech i believe shareholders' dividends were ring-fenced against striking so they get a pay out anyway.
"I have not been directly involved in talks" so I can pull the strings behind the scenes and have complete deniability that I've been involved.
classic blairite triangulation
....which means that he has been indirectly involved in the talks... pulling strings and interfering
No bottomless pit of money? Nevertheless shareholders seem to do rather well?
They don't risk money cos if it fails the government bail them out via taxpayers money
It is bottomless because they are paying £700,000+ PER DAY for storing UNUSABLE PPE.
They are doing this because they are f@cking over taxpayers.
Yes, let's have a list of those shareholders!
Answer the damn questions! We aren’t playing politics here. This is peoples lives!!!
They are playing politics. Tories have an ideology that must be implemented and workers are in the way off that ideology being implemented. The Tories serve the 1% as the 1% serve the millionaires. The Tories want to fire and rehire on a contract that promotes gig economy. The Torie want to run down the NHS preparing for privatisation the list goes on....None off the latter will serve majority of citizens but will very much serve the 1% trickle down to millionaires.
The Tories don't give a flying fig about our lives they hate us! They have all the character traits of psychopaths, we are just tools and if we are complaining/not going along with their needs then they just want to throw us away and get more compliant obedient tools!
A politician answer a question? Well it is almost Christmas and miracles sometimes happen.
It’s not the early 2000s matey
Mark Harper says there isn't a bottomless pit of money to go into the rail industry?? oh...what about the money wasted on crossrail then??
And HS 2 which is not needed.
+ arms for Ukraine and 4 star hotels for Albanians coming from France
Crossrail is quite cheap by tory standards.
So is HS 2. Because tories cronies are getting away with 100 billion a year tax fraud.
Yes ,correct Hotels full of foreigners , ,Ukraine a very wealthy Country ,oh ,yeah they can soon find the cash for these agendas can't they ?
@@michaelwells6797 it kind of is needed. If we don't build it then in 10 years time train travel on the NWML will be unbearable with overcrowded trains. We can only have so many trains on the line at once and they can only be so long due to platform sizes.
HS2 will allow more freight to be carried on rails and will allow for more local commuter services into london.
This takes trucks off the motorways.
Plus there is also the possibility of linking HS1 and HS2 together to allow travel to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam from Birmingham and Manchester in the future. This could eliminate many thousands of short hall flights every year.
HS2 is about preparing Britain's railways for the future. There has been little major investment into the rail network in over 20 years. The rest of Europe is investing massively in their rail infrastructure, especially high-speed rail. Britain is lagging behind massively. When we look at France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany and even Eastern Europe, Britain is decades behind.
This project is not only needed, but should have been started years ago.
Full credit must be given to mick Lynch ever strike day he's out with his union members on the picket lines answering questions from the public and media , its no wonder the British public are in full support of the industrial action
💯
Three times he was asked a question and not once did he answer it what a joke
Politicians lying! What’s new?!
Pinocchio has got nothing on these politicians.
I feel like it's fairly new that we can tell they're lying at the point when they tell the lie. Then again I'm only in my early thirties so I might be wrong.
The difference post Boris is they know they're lying and they also know the public know they're lying but they don't care.
It's all about keeping the daily mail filled with headlines for their flock they've given up on the rest of us. You only need to convince them your a headbanger and they'll make you Prime Minister just like Truss, no need for the public.
They can rely on English xenophobia to get reelected by putting asylum seekers in Labour areas and diverting funding from poorer areas to Tory areas.
@@FeedsNoSliesMusic they havent been this brazen with lies in living memory. this level of bullshitting is at a new level.
Well that’s the thing he’s not lying he’s just not answering the question we all really know the answer to
"There isn't a bottomless pit of money"
"We would love to be able to do everything, but we can't"
"We don't want anyone to feel worried"

I think you can't comment on any this morning videos
@@Gypsy_Danger_TMC don't you think there's a reason to that?

There appears to be a bottomless pit for handing out huge bonuses to CEOs and obscene profits to shareholders!
Mark Harper 😂. He just needs to give up because he will never be able to beat Mick Lynch in this fight. Lynch knows the railways inside out and he was an electrician too. Lynch’s fight doesn’t end there as he wants working conditions improved in every sector. Both Sunak and Starmer are finished politically.
I hope you're right about Starmer! He's one of them, he cannot be trusted
JOURNALISTS, PLEASE, if they don't answer the question, stay on it and just start bullying them.
e.g. "you do realise you look spineless for avoiding a very simple question?" or "you look extremely dishonest when you don't answer a yes/no with a yes or no. You are more than welcome to elaborate after answering yes or no, but refusing to do so makes it appear as if you're lying"
They'll never come back on the show if you do that. It's incestuous but I don't know how to fix that.
You're right, they never go hard enough on MPs when they don't give a straight answer.
They only give that sort of pushback if the interviewee is in any way leftwing/for increased workers rights.
@@PadHicks I've heard that excuse from them before, and it's pretty pathetic in my opinion. When they kowtow to the politicians it's an abdication of their responsibility to hold those in power to account. The only way we can fix it is to start making more noise about journalists being soft on them. (I know what I said in my original comment is probably preaching to the converted here, but I want more people to start holding the journalists to account too)
@@PadHicks "They'll never come back on the show if you do that" - aye they will. You think they're going to shy away from the public eye and expect to win elections? If they refuse to appear on Sky News, ITV News, Channel 4 News, etc. then they're pretty much turning down any chance of ever being elected. They won't do it.
Bottomless pit is compensating Rail companies for any losses incurred by the RMT strikes.
Despite the rail companies being a prooven failiure like avanti
That’s the contract the Government have it’s a weird setup we pay their losses for strikes so Mike lynch by not taking the 9% which other unions have is costing us money
The great train robbery Mk 2.
it wouldve cost a lot less than they are paying out if they would be prepared to make a deal they want to destroy the rmt
No matter which side of the argument you're on, you have admit Mick Lynch is absolutely bossing it.
Really 19% is a wet dream 36% of members are happy to take the 9% just when they started getting somewhere the RMT torpedoed it with further Xmas strikes. Reform is needed why would the operators pay 10% more without anything for them
Agreed, he represents the working people very well. That has to be said even though I have absolutely no time or sympathy for any of the people going on strike.
Go on Mick. Brutal honesty can't be trumped.
Yeah go Mick don't worry about the millions of people who won't get paid for not getting to work yeah good old Mick who on two hundred thousand pounds a year and train driver's who earn 60 thousand pounds a year don't give them a penny give it the nurses
The public are sick of politicians… they don’t answer a single question.. pathetic
Grant Shapps failed in his job when he was the transport secretary, he wouldn’t meet with Mike Lynch and was removed from the job and then promoted to Secretary of State for Business,Energy and Industrial Strategy. It seems to me, that if you’re crap at a job in the Conservative Party, you’ll move up the ladder.
Agreed! Remember Chris Grayling. Ferry fiasco. Billions of taxpayers' hard earned money wasted. Ended up with a job £100k/Yr salary for a reported 7hrs work per week, advising....the port authority!
You couldn't write it!
Whole system needs to change. The Tories have turbocharged corruption over their 12 year tenure and have pushed the uk backward
Shapps is only given these positions because he is happy to bareface lie for the rich.
Looking at the PM'S we've had would sure support your hypothesis. 😂😂
Mr Lynch is a national hero and he needs all of our support to change this corrupt political system.
And this is union official won't do care about the millions who could not get to work and lost money ....we all know the truth about the RMT and their corrupt policies of enriching themselves at the cost of the real working men and women of this country.
So basically what the transport secretary is saying is he is not doing his job. In fact he seems to have deliberately contrived to prevent a settlement, and if that were not the case he would not have missed the opportunity to give a straight answer to a straight question.
Did I miss it and the Transport Secretary answered the question? What a slippery fecker!
Mr Michael Lynch 💪
Support striking workers. Support unions. That is the only way to ensure workers rights and fair pay. Without unions employers would staff with minimum wage. Look at Wal-Mart and McDonalds. They can afford to pay workers a fair wage but instead choose low wages and maximized profits to pay management BILLIONS.
Mc Donalds is a franchise and its up to the person running it how much the workers get paid.
The unions only have 7 million members across all unions, yet there are 33 million people employed in the uk. what right do those members have when people cannot get to work, or celebrate Christmas with their families.
Without Unions this country would never have had a decent concept of a living wage. The John Major Governments years were a prime example, no minimum wage was around then, the Tories lapped it up paying people insifficient to even feed themselves or pay their household bills, oh look how nothing has changed with these robbing, thieving, lying Tory Scum?
Unions need scrapping. There's a thing called employment laws that deal with these issues, I'm sure there's nothing they don't deal with anymore. These rail workers are on a wedge. Unions are nothing but trouble. You've got to be a complete tool to be in one. Being told to strike when you've got family to support etc. No.
@Ahgsv no its not you tool. Christmas has nothing at all to do with unions. They must have been responsible for bank holidays, Easter, my birthday and anniversary too eh. Shut up.
12 YRS and what a mess -- so who's to blame? not the Unions
You may remember Jeremy Paxman questioning Michael Howard. Paxman asked him whether he'd taken a particular action, and Howard avoided answering.
Paxman asked three or four more times - each time, Howard wouldn't answer.
Finally, Paxman said, "I will take it that the answer is 'yes' unless you now say 'no'.
Unfortunately he didn't push this even further. 'So you did do this. Can you explain why you did this when it breached the ministerial code of conduct?'
More media organisations should just tell them to their face that the interview is over because they refuse to answer the question and move on to others who will. Stop giving these MPs that live off skirting around answering questions and telling the truth a platform.
Harper doing a good impression of Pinocchio !
The term "kettling" comes to mind. The government, rather than play fair, are creating a situation that they believe will allow them to respond with more drastic measures. Thankfully, people are seeing through the fog and hopefully, reason will prevail.
They’re attempting to engineer adequate consent for the tabled anti-strike laws.
All the people on strike actually pay tax, and don’t have the option of negotiating how much tax they pay.
THe only way the Tories can get us all to forget about their awful performance and corruption is to raise the old standards of 'evil unions' and 'disgusting immigrants'.
And still much of the country support them...
We are truly screwed :(
Conservatives love mass immigration as its cheap labour and future consumers for capitalism. Immigration is capitalism importing an over supply of labour in, which is a race to the bottom particularly for the working class.
Back in the day the Left understood this, even Bernie Sanders was anti immigration.

Why is he in about the tax payer paying rail worker wages? Aren't these private companies? Should they be paying, not the tax payer?
It’s shocking how it works but it’s tax payer money that will always ensure the private companies make profits 😂
Reform how MP's work. Take their aides and secretaries away and make them work longer hours like the rest of us to make ends meet.
A woman on the radio said, as a kid she remembered the 70s blackouts and strikes etc, and how she hates unions.
Well, maybe she hated them when they gave her better pay as a woman, maternity leave, holidays, safety measures, paternity for hubby, breaks at work, and many more rights.

"I've been very clear" - Translated into Tory Speak = "I am neither telling the you the truth or the whole story"
It’s becoming increasingly apparent the Tories have no interest to work towards a resolution with workers of the rail network. They want to decimate pay and conditions to squeeze greater profit for the shareholders and their chums. In order to do this they’re trying to ferment conflict between rail customers and workers so distracting from their own responsibilities.

The answer to the repeatedly asked question about driver-only trains is a resounding "Yes". If there was any way of denying this fact without lying through his teeth, Mr Harper would have said so.
Also, "A bottomless pit of taxpayers money" seems to be the only answer to the question of how the Tory government can afford to subsidise the train companies on strike days to the tune of £3 million a day, and by doing so deliberately prolonging the dispute.
As usual he didn’t answer the question.
Supporting the winter of discontent , supporting All !!! the strikers 👍
Their isn't a bottomless pit only for the mega rich train operators "mostly owned by foreign governments" tax avoiders, and Share holders.
There must be a bottomless pit of money because CEO’s are shareholders always seem to get massive pay rises and there is bugger all for anyone else in all types of industry. Workers across all sectors with union backing, are making a stand against this and are fighting for their jobs.
Go Mickie boy
Ensuring the continuation of the dispute plays to the Tories Daily Mail/Sun reading base, this is a very deliberate blame shifting policy; the Tory press can very easily manipulate their readers.
There’s a bottomless pit of taxpayers money when it comes to PPE CORRUPTION.
Don’t forget the 37 billion they stole for a so called track n trace app.
A lot of these journalists do not pursue it enough. If they don’t answer and dodge a question then they shouldn’t be allowed to ramble any further. Halt the interview til it’s answered.
Not a bottomless pit of money, subs to train companies day on, year on, oh don’t forget the bankers bonus. Rich for rich. Keep going Mick.
Keep going mick and rmt. With you all the way.
This isn't just a rail strike, its an argument for normal people everywere to earn a better living. I'm amazed at people I know who are totally uneducated on strikes and completely miss the fact its for the betterment of everybody in similiar jobs. Too many "I'm alright Jack's" everywhere.
It’s not the 80s anymore old man
Who are you calling ‘old man’
And yes, it’s ‘not the 80’s’ it’s a whole lot worse.
Govt claim it would cost 28 billion to pay public sector wage demands but guess what they are lying(again). IFS has said the figure is nearer 15 billion taking into account the extra tax and national insurance that would be clawed back by the govt. Sunak promised integrity, transparency, honesty, yet we forgot..... He is a tory.
Mick must be getting tired of dealing with these liars at this stage. At least the weasel is appearing in interviews even though he won't answer a simple question. Embarrassing
They are arguing over driver only trains. This is dangerous for passengers , just to save money.
If he was that desperate to state he wasn't interfering, you'd imagine he'd answer the fecking questions with a resounding 'no'.

Rocking a baker boy, looking good Mick!
The train operators are making obscene profits, subsidized by the tax payer. But increases in pay for their workers just in line with inflation? That's unreasonable. Pigs at a trough.
What is the offer.? What is the detail. ? What's are the conditions attached to the offer.?
This may not be popular,but british mp’s are banging the drum to send more and more money to a country thousands of miles away and who have no pact with this country-surely it’s mp’s duty and honour to look after the rank and file of UK.
Mick shines through all the Tory propaganda. He is just brilliant.
When politicians say {let me make it clear }you need to be very careful of what they thick they know. The Tories have magic money trees for things they are interested in.
The Tories are notorious for looking to cut corners no matter what the potential consequences.
Of course if there was some kind of horrific accident where it was obvious that having an extra member of staff on board a train other than just a driver would have helped to avoid it we would never hear the end of it (and rightly so).
They are doing to the rail unions as they did to the miners, and next, they will come for you until no one has any employment rights left
They should be made to answer. If its private companies, why does the government say they don't have a bottom less pit ? Shirley, it's up to companies to pay, or is it a tax payed system with private companies extracting the profits
