I think it's time to put all politicians on minimum pay. No expenses. There would soon be a new tune.. when I travel by train I am glad there is a ticket office. Somebody to tell me where to change which platform to use. I get no comfort from my mobile phone.
BUT 80% of the ticket sales are online or ticket machines, basic math tells you its the end for the ticket offices, sure maybe a skeleton staff of 1 but not the 4 or 5 staff in them sitting about doing nothing, I like you use the rail everyday and I pass the huge glass fronted ticket office to get to my platform and it is literally deserted while the station is packed out, if going by that example alone what else is there to highlight that we do not know about, it all about supply and demand, the online reality is here to stay with the new automated junction signalling technology soon to be another nail in the coffin for the rail staff, its a business they are running after all.
Brewer was surprisingly reasonable! Lynch is absolutely right people complaining about others workers will also want a raise, so what! This is what should happen. Try taking money back from the greedy rich and in many cases corrupt parasites that unjustly take an obscenely disproportionate amount from this country!!
Sick of the cost to the tax payer comments, those executives and shareholders don't have a problem taking the tax payers money, tories taking us backwards to the victorian workhouse days, so long as they're alright financially, if I owned a business, I'd either not serve them, or do any work for them, bunch of selfish hypocrites.
So privatise the whole thing. Get rid of all govt subsidies and interference. Let the free market operate and if the railways are worth having they will survive, if not, some other transport innovation will replace them. State intervention and Trade Union pressure leads to industrial stagnation and crony-corruption as monopolies are propped up for decades beyond their being fit-for-purpose. This country needs to get it's head out of the post war socialist arse-hole and realise that capitalist economics are the solution not the problem.
Brewer : "the number of passengers is down, so redundancies are necessary" and in another breath "industrial action by railway workers is causing hardship to thousands of passengers". Exactly what is her agenda. Grant Schapps is an impartial negotiator or propably a poor negotiator. Network Rail is entirely owned by HM Department of Transport, of which Schapps is the Boss. Get your heads around that one.
@@douglastaggart9360 Thank you I shall consider it. In the meantime Mick Lynch is standing up for his workers who are being exploited and deserve a decent living wage in line with inflation and their jobs protected.
How does Julia suggest workers protect their labour rights? Does Julie belong to a union which will protect her rights when necessary? Big fan of hers by the way but these neo liberals lose us on their economy standpoints .
Workers are trying to avoid getting poorer and trying to avoid destitution. The greed is all one side - the people who are already rich and demand thar workers make them richer.
Whilst I am not a fan of mr lynch, he really is a calm, eloquent speaker who maintains his patience throughout all these interviews. As I say, not a fan and certainly don’t agree with all his views, but a great speaker and I wouldn’t want to negotiate against him :)
You need some money printing and how can it be done without a central bank , unless you do anyway with the pound and go for decentralised digital currency, which has other issues
@@RichardPhillips1066 The point is that money needs to be tied to something,...most modern problems stem from the joint UK/US decision to scrap the Gold Standard and to print money on the basis of what they could forecast raising from future tax revenues. The Dollar provides a Gold substitute for most countries as the US tax-payer will be used the the Fed to under-write all debts so that the dollar doesn't fail,...but unlike Gold which was to a degree finite and 'honest', the revenues from future generations of tax-payers leads to increasingly 'dishonest' State controlled economic decisions, and we are somewhere on a nasty spiral down into socialist/fascist economic hell. A return to Gold, and a hefty injection of free-market economic policies would correct the problem,...but the public are addicted to 'free' stuff (which their children and grand-children will pay for) from increasingly socialist/fascist political parties. hence the tories being tied to New Labour policies from the 90s and unable to conceive of delivering even the moderate Conservative policies of the 80's...heaven knows where we'll be in another 30 years if we keep going like this.
Evola’s sunglasses Two years back, some journalists and political commentators (who weren’t being paid to keep quiet) warned of exactly what has now come to pass-high inflation and a ballooning of the national debt. The government will try and pass the buck (Ukraine/covid etc..) but it was their economic policies that has directly put the nation in the precarious situation it’s in now. I’m fed up carrying the can for millionaires mistakes. The likes of Rishi Sunak and Grant Shapps are hardly going to suffer the effects millions of people will be facing this winter-they don’t pay for things such as heating or running a car. They claim the costs of that from us. Nice work if you can get it!
@Tom nonono. I'm talking about all those otherwise clever media figures who somehow can't understand quite simple things in this case even when Mick explains them very straightforwardly
The government have to set the safety standards that all transport operators have to abide by, by law, and not have them trying to whittle them down in the name of profit for shareholders!
I understand that a work team on the railways, say 8 strong whose job is maintain signals will all 8 go to change a signal light even if the job can be done by 2 of them.
When companies are making 50% and more profits you can't tell me they can't afford to give a little extra to the people who are making them the profits, I agree that you can't match inflation to every pay rise but if companies weren't so greedy in the first place inflation would not be as high as it is now.
What’s wrong with workers wanting better pay when all the fat cats are getting richer ? Good on em I say, I worked for the post office for 25yrs & month after month we had meeting telling us about cut backs, losing hrs, losing staff, additional work with no extra pay, while all the bosses were creaming it off
This government, actually someone in this government red stamped a cheque for £1 million to a girl band in Nigeria. I'd love to have a chat with that individual
Mick lynch doesn’t represent the drivers, he’s the leader of railway workers most of whom are on low wages and can you imagine using stations with no staff that can’t be very safe
Julia Hartless Brewery takes on Mick Lynch I beg to differ The phrase couldnt run a piss up in a brewery springs to mind. Ironic to think Juliane Assange is in jail for exposing corruption while this tory mouth piece is raking it in .Well done to Mick Lynch for standing up to her.
David I think she's a lot more on Mick and the RMTs side than she let's on. She has to push back as she's lead presenter on Talk Radio. She genuinely likes him.
What planet are you on Julia? The trains where i live are still hourly since covid. Before covid they were half hours and they constantly announce cancellations due to driver shortage. Absolute jokers.
I work in the private sector, I just asked my boss for a pay rise, I got turned down. I do wonder what would happen if I went on strike, I know, I’ll get sacked.
@justin I’m saying we live in a free market where there are so many jobs and career paths. If you feel you are not being paid enough (like everyone does), ask for a pay rise, if you don’t get one, look for another job. There is zero need to go on a strike and impact the lives of so many people who in effect pay your salaries.
@justin And when you let these unions conduct strike after strike, it effects other peoples across many sectors jobs, livelihoods, it also impacts business and so forth. It’s a selfish form of action.
So to clarify. 1. Companies have made pay offers, contingent on modernisation 2. The Transport Secretary should have a say in how taxpayers money is spent. 3. If modernisation means you don't require guards, why should the taxpayer pay for a job that is literally redundant? The RMT demand for no compulsory redundancies is idiotic. Say you have 1 person, I'm a role that isn't needed and refuses to take voluntary redundancy, does he think taxpayers should just pay them to sit there?
What you wrote appears clever to anyone who is not in the railway. “Modernising” the entire railway to go guard-less and eventually driverless, will cost hundreds and hundreds of billions, likely trillions and thus making the entire argument of “saving money” a mute point. Take the Sydney Metro. State of the art driverless network with no guards. £6 Billion for just 36km of track. That’s it. The uk operates around (loose estimate) 17,000km of track. Let us pretend we can do what Australia done for HALF the money (Which would never happen), this would cost 1.3 Trillion. Let that sink in.
@@charliewalker9443 I was not suggesting driverless trains. Just that modernisation may lead to jobs becoming redundant and therefore any company cannot completely rule out compulsory redundancies. We don't have many coal shovellers employed by train companies now for that reason. The comparison to Sydney is also pretty disingenuous as this is a new project involving tunnels, bridges, stations etc. So the cost is infrastructure. I am not aware the proposed modernisation involves rebuilding the entire UK rail network.
@@michaelsimpson4400 Actually, yes, this is exactly what would have to happen for a complete driverless network. Entire areas of the network would need complete ripping up and laying down of new signalling systems. Not too mention platform extensions, new routes to be purchased and cleared to enable faster trains. Driverless networks operate best on elevated or underground, free of trespass and irregularities like trees falling, leaf fall, etc. So this would have to be built. No to even touch on the purchasing of the trains themselves that don’t yet exist. Overhead line equipment, so on. HS2 alone is forecast to cost 92 Billion! For one new line.
I have no issues with people striking for better pay, especially with the profits companies are posting. People striking have their pay suspended but union reps and bosses don’t, that’s my issue. If union members lose their pay during a strike so should the union bosses. The rest I support.
@@rodwhitley3257 I know, however, members strike because union bosses fail to negotiate an acceptable deal. If their pay was also suspended during a strike, deals would come a lot quicker. PS I know it takes 2 to tango and the company involved also need to play the part.
Late to it, but that's the first Julia interview I've been able to enjoy! A year on, and she shouts, talks over constantly, takes very set positions, doesn't listen, mocks, and dominates any interview. And I avoid her like the plague as a result! Look back at your old interviews Jules, and see how civil and informative they can be?!!?
The NeoCons/ Victoria Nuland should never ever of backed the coup against the ELECTED government of Ukraine 8 years ago that started this nightmare off.
The thing is Julia you sit there gobbling off on big wages and will say and do what ever your told to keep your cushy job.. Are you in a union to protect you from any shite that's thrown at you.. I doubt your in a union as you can afford a lawyer to fight your corner.. Keep strong Mick.. 🇬🇧🇬🇧
The argument that because someone needs a service you offer, you have to offer it is invalid. You cannot force someone to work in a job just because it's necessary. That's enforced labour, otherwise known as slavery. This channel is slowly losing my respect.

I admire the attitude of Mr Lynch, always controlled and polite even though I don't agree with everything he says.
He answers the questions, unlike Grant Shapps
Is she right in her head?
And why does she cut in? Let the man talk
Crikey i found something i agree on with Lynch. Kids should enjoy life and not be narrow mindedabout education
I can't help but sympathise with this guy, who seems genuine and not just a dirty politician. Why not give everyone a payrise? They wasted billions during lockdown, and gave our money to big pharma.
Then you haven't had enough contact with TUS reps my friend. As a former member and voluntary rep of a public sector trade union, it was quickly clear to me that these paid reps look out for number one. Their own job security, perks and prestige drives 80%+ of their rhetoric,...very little to distinguish them from career politicians other than working class accent replacing the upper class accent. Parasites.
@@lonewanderer3456 You may be right, but is it not possible that sometimes their own interests coincide with their members (who are working class people)? I wouldn't judge them all like that. He does not talk like any politician. That might change.
The problem is where the money comes from. I couldn't give a stuff how much rail workers get paid, but I don't think it should come out of the taxpayers pocket.
@@superted6960 It's not ideal, but if they don't use taxes for that, they waste it on something else, as they always do. When the NHS collapses due to their failures, you will need those payrises to pay for your healthcare.
This is the first time I ever considered Julia an enemy of the people, perhaps she has shares in the rail companies.
Julia’s controlled opposition, she lets her guard down ever now n then and the real toffee nosed Julia comes out
Nonsense, unions are the scourge of society, look around, the world is changing ABSOLUTELY NOBODY IS GUARANTEED A WAGE.
Try looking up the words "supply and demand" is the bedrock of every workforce, skum like Lynch are the enemy, he complains they want to close station ticket offices, well guess what 90% of rail tickets are bought online (look it up) this is a classic : supply and demand.
She's a toff!
The US owner dictates the tone.
She’s payed by murdoch for Christ’s sake
Both populist Right and Left need to find common ground. Particularly with supporting working people.
Agreed
@@alimaceachen7797 It's what is called, "Negotiating in good faith".
The right especially people like Julia don't give a damn about working people. only the left actually want to protect workers rights.
The party of law and order cannot arrest any one because the courts are on strike because they refuse to pay them your increasingly deranged pm is shouting about women with winkles in a recession with a cost of living crisis the party of business has shrunk the economy to its smallest since 1709 the facist press who supported truss are going on strike over pay and conditions and what you actually need is a revolution
She will probably never get it ! Workers don't want to strike !
Unfortunately they have to fight for decent wages and conditions,unlike her kind.
They are getting a descent wage they aren't getting minimum wage off £13,000 a year are they.
@@douglastaggart9360 No it is not decent in relation to inflation. 3 year pay freeze has meant over the course of the last 3 years, I am 400-500 worse off because my non negotiable bills have increased. I am sick of this race to the bottom, where people think everyone else has to accept a shittier wage for themselves just because some people out there suffer more. This is nonsense.
@Carl Collins thier are a lot more people who work on the rail ways than drivers. Average wage I believe is less than 30k a year
She is stuck up and out of touch
@Carl Collins, drivers are in the Aslef Union
She took him on and FAILED EPICLY. HE IS ABSOLUTE CLASS.
Him and that cockney wideboy need to go forth and multiply
Mick and that Cockney Wide boy as you put it are Ambassadors for ALL workers in the UK you Complete and Utter Prick,,, Try removing your head from your Arse,,,
We love you Mick
I think it's time to put all politicians on minimum pay. No expenses. There would soon be a new tune.. when I travel by train I am glad there is a ticket office. Somebody to tell me where to change which platform to use. I get no comfort from my mobile phone.
BUT 80% of the ticket sales are online or ticket machines, basic math tells you its the end for the ticket offices, sure maybe a skeleton staff of 1 but not the 4 or 5 staff in them sitting about doing nothing, I like you use the rail everyday and I pass the huge glass fronted ticket office to get to my platform and it is literally deserted while the station is packed out, if going by that example alone what else is there to highlight that we do not know about, it all about supply and demand, the online reality is here to stay with the new automated junction signalling technology soon to be another nail in the coffin for the rail staff, its a business they are running after all.
Wouldn't that be something
Julia you do not lose many debates but you lost that one big time
Get the CEOs and the bosses on, give them a grilling as well.
Brewer was surprisingly reasonable! Lynch is absolutely right people complaining about others workers will also want a raise, so what! This is what should happen. Try taking money back from the greedy rich and in many cases corrupt parasites that unjustly take an obscenely disproportionate amount from this country!!
Sick of the cost to the tax payer comments, those executives and shareholders don't have a problem taking the tax payers money, tories taking us backwards to the victorian workhouse days, so long as they're alright financially, if I owned a business, I'd either not serve them, or do any work for them, bunch of selfish hypocrites.
Companies running rail are greedy. They will offer an acceptable pay rise but then resolve this by raising rail fares which punishes the people!
Well said 👋👋👋
So privatise the whole thing. Get rid of all govt subsidies and interference. Let the free market operate and if the railways are worth having they will survive, if not, some other transport innovation will replace them.
State intervention and Trade Union pressure leads to industrial stagnation and crony-corruption as monopolies are propped up for decades beyond their being fit-for-purpose.
This country needs to get it's head out of the post war socialist arse-hole and realise that capitalist economics are the solution not the problem.
Grant Schapps is known to be anti-rail by his officials and refuses to travel on trains preferring his private plane.
What private plane is that then moron?
Brewer : "the number of passengers is down, so redundancies are necessary" and in another breath "industrial action by railway workers is causing hardship to thousands of passengers". Exactly what is her agenda.
Grant Schapps is an impartial negotiator or propably a poor negotiator. Network Rail is entirely owned by HM Department of Transport, of which Schapps is the Boss. Get your heads around that one.
Mick Lynch did extraordinarily well and was very versatile in swapping subjects at the drop of a hat to defuse Julia Hartley Brewer very politely
This guy should be PM.
You need psychological help
I really despair of some idiots on here
@@douglastaggart9360 Thank you I shall consider it. In the meantime Mick Lynch is standing up for his workers who are being exploited and deserve a decent living wage in line with inflation and their jobs protected.
How does Julia suggest workers protect their labour rights? Does Julie belong to a union which will protect her rights when necessary? Big fan of hers by the way but these neo liberals lose us on their economy standpoints .
She works for the Murdoch empire so she represents & stands for a lot of what's wrong with the world.
She will have an agent who negotiates for her agent see union love the free market me mick a hero 👍
When will public sector workers earn the same as their private counterparts?
THE PROBLEM IS GREED
Workers are trying to avoid getting poorer and trying to avoid destitution.
The greed is all one side - the people who are already rich and demand thar workers make them richer.

Whilst I am not a fan of mr lynch, he really is a calm, eloquent speaker who maintains his patience throughout all these interviews. As I say, not a fan and certainly don’t agree with all his views, but a great speaker and I wouldn’t want to negotiate against him :)
its called being a professional conman, talk fast and distract.
The government and Labour should never of supported the central Banks and mass money printing = high inflation
But isn't greed good?
'Never have'
You need some money printing and how can it be done without a central bank , unless you do anyway with the pound and go for decentralised digital currency, which has other issues
@@RichardPhillips1066 The point is that money needs to be tied to something,...most modern problems stem from the joint UK/US decision to scrap the Gold Standard and to print money on the basis of what they could forecast raising from future tax revenues.
The Dollar provides a Gold substitute for most countries as the US tax-payer will be used the the Fed to under-write all debts so that the dollar doesn't fail,...but unlike Gold which was to a degree finite and 'honest', the revenues from future generations of tax-payers leads to increasingly 'dishonest' State controlled economic decisions, and we are somewhere on a nasty spiral down into socialist/fascist economic hell.
A return to Gold, and a hefty injection of free-market economic policies would correct the problem,...but the public are addicted to 'free' stuff (which their children and grand-children will pay for) from increasingly socialist/fascist political parties. hence the tories being tied to New Labour policies from the 90s and unable to conceive of delivering even the moderate Conservative policies of the 80's...heaven knows where we'll be in another 30 years if we keep going like this.
Evola’s sunglasses
Two years back, some journalists and political commentators (who weren’t being paid to keep quiet) warned of exactly what has now come to pass-high inflation and a ballooning of the national debt. The government will try and pass the buck (Ukraine/covid etc..) but it was their economic policies that has directly put the nation in the precarious situation it’s in now. I’m fed up carrying the can for millionaires mistakes. The likes of Rishi Sunak and Grant Shapps are hardly going to suffer the effects millions of people will be facing this winter-they don’t pay for things such as heating or running a car. They claim the costs of that from us. Nice work if you can get it!
It's very hard to convince someone of something when their salary is dependent on them not understanding it.
@Tom nonono. I'm talking about all those otherwise clever media figures who somehow can't understand quite simple things in this case even when Mick explains them very straightforwardly
gotta stop 'em talking about freedom and liberty dont you? something we dont have in this nation
Nice to see a newsreader telling someone with years of experience in the industry why he is wrong. Facepalm.
A great man ! A national hero !
The government have to set the safety standards that all transport operators have to abide by, by law, and not have them trying to whittle them down in the name of profit for shareholders!
I don't see how compulsory redundancies will help , the service will get worse with less workers ?
I understand that a work team on the railways, say 8 strong whose job is maintain signals will all 8 go to change a signal light even if the job can be done by 2 of them.
When companies are making 50% and more profits you can't tell me they can't afford to give a little extra to the people who are making them the profits, I agree that you can't match inflation to every pay rise but if companies weren't so greedy in the first place inflation would not be as high as it is now.
What’s wrong with workers wanting better pay when all the fat cats are getting richer ? Good on em I say, I worked for the post office for 25yrs & month after month we had meeting telling us about cut backs, losing hrs, losing staff, additional work with no extra pay, while all the bosses were creaming it off
The Government currently subsidises the ROCs £21bn pa, none of which is required to be paid back. Shame we can't make Spewer redundant.
Of course the Country can afford it.
This government, actually someone in this government red stamped a cheque for £1 million to a girl band in Nigeria. I'd love to have a chat with that individual
Mick for pm
£64.000 train driver I bet supermarket workers wold love that wage
I drive for a Supermarket, we have Hgv drivers on not much less than that, I don't but I support them.
What's stopping you becoming a driver ?? Dont bitch about what other hard working ppl get paid, try it for yourself before criticising muppet.
what a silly comparison.
Actually 64k doesn't look much for driver of a hundred tones vehicle with a thousand people on it..
Mick lynch doesn’t represent the drivers, he’s the leader of railway workers most of whom are on low wages and can you imagine using stations with no staff that can’t be very safe
Julia Hartless Brewery takes on Mick Lynch I beg to differ The phrase couldnt run a piss up in a brewery springs to mind. Ironic to think Juliane Assange is in jail for exposing corruption while this tory mouth piece is raking it in .Well done to Mick Lynch for standing up to her.
Well done mick 100% behind you.its a pity Julia can't see the struggle of the working class.against this corrupt government who have been found out.
David I think she's a lot more on Mick and the RMTs side than she let's on. She has to push back as she's lead presenter on Talk Radio. She genuinely likes him.
She can but she's a disaster capitalist working for the Murdoch empire, In other words she supports socialism for the rich like we have in the U.K.

I work in the private sector, I just asked my boss for a pay rise, I got turned down. I do wonder what would happen if I went on strike, I know, I’ll get sacked.
@justin Or I just work harder and/or look for another job, if need be, apply for a job ins other country if the money is better.
@justin I’m saying we live in a free market where there are so many jobs and career paths. If you feel you are not being paid enough (like everyone does), ask for a pay rise, if you don’t get one, look for another job. There is zero need to go on a strike and impact the lives of so many people who in effect pay your salaries.
Join a unionized then ffs, as Mick said enough is enough,grow a pair
@@garriejackson9551 And I just said, I will look for a new job.
@justin And when you let these unions conduct strike after strike, it effects other peoples across many sectors jobs, livelihoods, it also impacts business and so forth. It’s a selfish form of action.
i,v not worked for two years living off me own money what cost of living crisses utter bollocks
So to clarify.
1. Companies have made pay offers, contingent on modernisation
2. The Transport Secretary should have a say in how taxpayers money is spent.
3. If modernisation means you don't require guards, why should the taxpayer pay for a job that is literally redundant?
The RMT demand for no compulsory redundancies is idiotic. Say you have 1 person, I'm a role that isn't needed and refuses to take voluntary redundancy, does he think taxpayers should just pay them to sit there?
Exactly. Shame that JHB couldn't have based her interview on such a clear set of points. She tends to get lost in her rambling too often.
What you wrote appears clever to anyone who is not in the railway. “Modernising” the entire railway to go guard-less and eventually driverless, will cost hundreds and hundreds of billions, likely trillions and thus making the entire argument of “saving money” a mute point.
Take the Sydney Metro. State of the art driverless network with no guards. £6 Billion for just 36km of track. That’s it.
The uk operates around (loose estimate) 17,000km of track.
Let us pretend we can do what Australia done for HALF the money (Which would never happen), this would cost 1.3 Trillion. Let that sink in.
@@charliewalker9443 I was not suggesting driverless trains. Just that modernisation may lead to jobs becoming redundant and therefore any company cannot completely rule out compulsory redundancies. We don't have many coal shovellers employed by train companies now for that reason.
The comparison to Sydney is also pretty disingenuous as this is a new project involving tunnels, bridges, stations etc. So the cost is infrastructure. I am not aware the proposed modernisation involves rebuilding the entire UK rail network.
@@michaelsimpson4400
Actually, yes, this is exactly what would have to happen for a complete driverless network. Entire areas of the network would need complete ripping up and laying down of new signalling systems. Not too mention platform extensions, new routes to be purchased and cleared to enable faster trains. Driverless networks operate best on elevated or underground, free of trespass and irregularities like trees falling, leaf fall, etc. So this would have to be built. No to even touch on the purchasing of the trains themselves that don’t yet exist.
Overhead line equipment, so on. HS2 alone is forecast to cost 92 Billion! For one new line.
@@charliewalker9443 refer you to the bit where I said they are not, and neither was I, proposing a driverless network.
I have no issues with people striking for better pay, especially with the profits companies are posting. People striking have their pay suspended but union reps and bosses don’t, that’s my issue.
If union members lose their pay during a strike so should the union bosses.
The rest I support.
The RMT bosses always dontate their days pay to the strike fund.
Its not the union bosses who vote to strike its the members
@@rodwhitley3257 I know, however, members strike because union bosses fail to negotiate an acceptable deal. If their pay was also suspended during a strike, deals would come a lot quicker.
PS I know it takes 2 to tango and the company involved also need to play the part.
Strike action is always a last resort. Government talk on further restrictions on the rights of workers to withdraw their labour is not helpful.
Late to it, but that's the first Julia interview I've been able to enjoy! A year on, and she shouts, talks over constantly, takes very set positions, doesn't listen, mocks, and dominates any interview. And I avoid her like the plague as a result! Look back at your old interviews Jules, and see how civil and informative they can be?!!?
