Across the pond, the trains aren’t running.

Militant unions left Britain’s town and city centres deserted today and returned them to ‘the darkest days of Covid’ today with pubs, cafes and restaurants set to lose £540million in a week because of the worst combined rail and Tube strike in the UK for 30 years.

More than 50,000 union members have walked out over demands for a 11 per cent pay rise as millions battled into work, were forced to work from home or unable to earn money at all this week in a new ‘devastating’ hammer blow to the already creaking economy.

The UK has been forced into another de facto lockdown that could be the death knell for many small businesses who have already been struggling for the past two years due to the pandemic and were just getting back on their feet.
