@jaybee3074 UK job vacancies stand unfilled at about 800 thousand. Asylum applications stand at about 99 thousand. The UK does not allow asylum seekers to work whilst their applications are being processed. Even the US allows that. All that tax and NI lost. All that cost in benefits.
@kelvmackenzie Surely this points to the fact that the railways are understaffed. You should not have to rely on overtime or the good will of people to work on their days off to run an essential service. Surely this is down to operating companies profit over service
Last week @OctopusEnergy invited me to their HQ in London to tell them all about lines, cables, substations, grid history and the need for constant expansion and rewiring of Britain to achieve netzero, decarbonisation and connect data centres etc. Lovely place, lovely people 🐙
(Anti tower lobbying) 😘
All MPs need to support the great grid upgrade and work towards a skills based economy where engineering is respected, admired, and coveted
