The TUC has said Rachel Reeves is right to be making plans now for a
possible energy bills support package. In a statement responding to her
Commons speech, Paul Nowak, the TUC general secretary, said:
44 Working people must not carry the can for the economic damage of Trump’s
illegal war.
While the priority must be to urgently deescalate the conflict, it is right that the
government is planning now for how it can help households and businesses and
how they ensure anyone making runaway profits pays their fair share.
Low income families will need the greatest protection.
Nowak also said the government should bring unions and employers
together in an emergency taskforce, as happened during Covid, to help to
prepare for this.
Cool, so Trump's war which the Yanks are powerless to stop is going to be COVID level crisis for those of us in the UK who did not have a vote in that stupid election and yet suffer the consequences of it.
Cheers.
