Any chance you could repost this you seem to be the only source . I tried to search latest post by lynch TH-cam seems to think his latest post was five years ago by date posted 🙄
Let’s have the same decision when it comes to mps ministers house of lords pay pay rises pensions and there productivity out put and see them justify there jobs
This man isn't working class, he is world-class.
Yep and a Brexiteer. What a treasure.
Stop putting the working class down bro.

@@mariogmajner6549 yes
@@mariogmajner6549 I was not being sarcastic. Yes I did and still do.
Mick Lynch is a great talent. We need people like him in parliament instead of these public schoolboys we have imposed on us now. Go for it Mick.
Such a sharp and unrattled traveller. Must have been a cracking tradesman. Saying that as an aside of course.
Put Liz Truss in an interview with Mick Lynch!!!!!!
@@lizbourn4192 Don't be cruel.
A great Brexit supporter too
Absolutely. I've yet to see Mick not leave egg on the face of any of his interviewers.
Very alarming that Mick had to explain to the MP how democracy generally works in this country...
In all honesty, what does the current administration know about democracy?
Quite.
Im sure meant communism didnt you
Its long gone that's why ! .
It's outrageous that the government is subsidizing the companies to help them resist negotiating with the workers.
Spot on. I'd never thought of it like that.
And also limiting what they can offer in the negotiations as well.
Well, Thatcher's government imported coal at greater cost than UK production, in order to break the miners strike. So this is nothing new.
Incredible
They’re assured of profits even if the entire network strikes? So have no interest in negotiating better terms for its own workers!
This is our money being used blatantly against our interests!!
It's quite horrifying how ignorant our elected representatives are.
And where their interests lie!
Ignorance is the British disease.
@@steveevans7805 eugenics
They are not ignorant, they are corrupt, there's a big difference.
Ridiculously out of touch. It's mental.
This is what he does. This is what they do. He's prepared and knowledgeable, they're pompous, arrogant fools with little to no desire to understand.
It's like watching a remake of Dumb and Dumber, but they're all dumb!!🙄
Are you getting audio on this video?
It's like he's the only person in that room who ever did any assignments in school.
I was intending to make same comment, but that was eloquent.. spot on
They don't have to be, I bet everyone of them owns multiple houses with tenants and investment in stocks. So their income is guarranteed.
As I often say, there's such thing as big money, and there are weird people growing on it, like some kind of mushrooms.
Honestly in awe at this man. The speed he thinks at to get around traps, and avoid being flustered or rushed and just *sound* calm is astounding. Incredible glad to have a man like this fighting for the rights of average people.
Agree. Mick's obviously a highly intelligent guy. Think he's in the wrong job
@@kennyhill3140 he'd never be 'allowed' to be a politician, or rather he'd not get very far. He's clearly not corrupt enough.
One really crucial point Mick makes is that these nationalised industries are not genuine private companies that have to survive by being competitive. The profits ARE privatised, the LOSSES are paid for by the tax payer. Nowhere is this more true than the railways. As Mick says, the operating companies take no entrepreneurial risk ( but get rewarded by Govt as if they have) and when the going gets tough they hand the contract back to the Govt and walk off. The rental of rolling stock was always bonkers because you are renting carriages at a fix level for a fixed period without knowing your needs - Mick’s point of rolling stock during Covid. Great if you are the firm leasing out the rolling stock, rubbish value for the tex payer. The structure set up at privatisation was unworkable for running trains but great for city types making huge profits and we have spent the last 20 + years paying the cost of (Tory) dogma.
yes we shouldn’t socialise the losses and make the railways fully privatised. so they live or die by their service and fares
Tory government, and TOCs are involved in the great train robbery Mk 2.

Amazing how calm and coherent someone can be when they don't have to worry about tripping over lies. Just free flowing truth

*MICK LYNCH IS A HERO TO THE WORKING CLASS!!!!!*
And a lot of the rest of us
What ever that means
Its breathtaking how ignorant the first politicians was, contrast how well Mick Lynch can talk and his depth of knowledge.
Possibly more ignorant is the guy who didn't know that his example of a driverless train had the same crewing requirements. I mean, I didn't know that either, but then I wasn't planning on talking about implementing them as driverless options to the head of a railway union, so maybe I don't need to. Still, it would have been handy for him to have known how the tech he hypothetically wants to use works.
“what about your constituents?” Mick is a class act
Mick is brillant, doesn't get drawn into traps and hits the nail on the head everytime.
Keep going Mick💪
Spot on John.
mick for PM
@@seansrecords He isn't a politician. He sticks to the topic, speaks the truth, doesn't get distracted and answers questions honestly. He would make a terrible PM, though probably not as bad as Truss.
@@johnm2012 but youre comparing him to lying corrupt politicians that have gone before. Theyre the ones who make terrible PM's
@@johnm2012 The comments you make, are why I agree with @Sean Dyer. But respectfully sir, I disagree with your comment of 'a terrible PM'. I think society needs and WANT's change, instead of have the wool pulled over our eyes! He'd have my vote if he were a MP.
They're shocked because a working class person who speaks with a different accent is actually intelligent! 😂😂
More intelligent!
He alone has a higher IQ than the rest of them combined.
Much of the trouble with England itself is that the inhabitants hear a plummy accent and assume the chinless wonder using it is intelligent and superior to them.
A well spoken working class member? That's akin to treason. Tearing up the very fabric of British society!
@@dommccabe17 💯
Mick is the type of person who should be sat in the MPs seat. It's high time our leaders came from grass root professions and not overgrown school children who've spent their whole lives in a classroom, detached from the real world, where sounding and looking the part is more important than being able to do the job you're employed to do.
well said and fully agree
I could watch Mick Lynch putting tories into their place all day every day, it's my elixr of life
their place as democratically elected government? and his as a gang leader you mean?
@@danh5637 errrrr, you do realise Mick Lynch is democratically elected by his Union too, don't you?
Stupid is as stupid does...
@@danh5637
Don't understand these MPs, do they literally do no research on Mick before these things and then think they're capable of outwitting him or something?
No they're just plain dumb!!🤭
Why not, they believe the Working Class are dense hence the lies Bozo The Clown told so they’ve come unstuck with Mick Lynch!
Power to the People!
because they beleive his just some stinky dirty peasent who'll rub his hat soon as they speak down to him.
Tories are essentially very lazy and selfish
They are Tories.. they think because Mick speaks with a more working class accent and doesn't attend a country club that they are better than him. Simple class prejudice, it's been going on in the UK forever - see people listening to Bojo and JRM because they speak with a posh accent, despite both being full of effluent.
We need Politicians with the knowledge and expertise and decency like Mick Lynch.
The condescending and immature behavior, of what appear to be quite junior MPs, was nicely balanced by the professionalism, pragmatism, and clarity of the RMT representatives
If Tory MPs were as smart and as prepared as Mick Lynch they might actually get something worthwhile done. What they are missing is that job security and decent terms and conditions lead to a productive work force and a buoyant economy.
They face no punishment even if they cause countless deaths so they dont care.
No consequence results in zero fucks given
A smart Tory is not something you want. To be a Tory, you have to want to be destructive.
Tories/eugenicists. They revel in the destruction and wealth
What! On the railways? You must be a bike rider
They don't care about any of that, they only care about not being challenged by those they see as lessers and profits. Productivity aspirations are just some woke jibber jabber to them.
A masterclass in how to handle hostile interviewers.
When Eton gets schooled by a man who left school at 16 got to love Michael Lynch ❤
For every day of strikes MPs should lose a day's pay. This would ensure MPs do the job they are being paid to do, that is to look after the interests of British people and not the interests of foreign companies.
or their own....
Yes, having a performance review of how well they govern their sector is a good idea. We already do it for skilled labour. Why on earth are we questioning the union when it is corporations who doesn't want to come to an agrement while the government being the main stakeholder.
Can't imagine the MP for Buckingham has too many constituents working on the railway, as the line was closed in 1966!!
He's probably not aware of that.
Chiltern Line goes straight through his constituency, FYI.
@@antonystephens2446 Yeah I know, Princes Risborough and eventually Winslow when the East West route opens. But not Buckingham.
@@nigelsutton8957 your ignorance about constituency boundaries betrays your inability to comment on these matters.
@@antonystephens2446 Really? Suggest you look at Greg Smith's website, quite clearly states that Princes Risborough and Winslow are part of his Buckingham constituency.
Mick Lynch is phenomenal in answering these questions in a calm patient way. He is a hero. Not just for his union but for democracy. I wish I I was rich enough to subsidise his members.
Poor Mick Lynch. Facing the combined power, of the UK government and the railroad owners, what can he do? In solidarity with his his union members, Mick is going to kick their behinds.
Why do we need people making profits from public services when a nationaliised industry could use the profits being made to reduce fares,improve wages and conditions,and increase the number of people being employed that have been reduced to make profits?The profits of all industries are being banked,and the electorate are being milked.Renationalise all industries that have been privatised.
well said
Exactly
They want CHAOS, the ruling elite do not care .
Mick Lynch is a great talent. We need people like him in parliament instead
YESSSSSS! Mick running circles round them. Love it that he sounds intelligent, calm, polite and determined. RESPECT!
The Tory tribe cannot win the argument with someone as clear and concise as mick lynch ,
As a working class person retired may I wish mick and all rail workers the best of luck,
Keep calm, don’t get caught up in violence stoked up by the Tory party, as happened to the miners campaign,
These MP’s in the media keep on trying but they just can’t outthink or outwit Mick Lynch. He knows his trade inside out and wants to make life better for everyone. He left school and qualified as an electrician, then worked in construction. From there he began working for Eurostar, and became active in the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT).
He was black listed in the building trade. ✊🏼
I was a lifelong Conservative voter, watching these two union representatives answering MP’s questions was impressive. They were clear, well informed and presented themselves exceedingly well. If the Labour Party had MP’s of these two representatives they would storm the next election.
Labour as they stand are useless imo given they're making concessions to the tories and rejecting unions when that's how they get their money
Please don’t vote Tory , vote anything else but that . ❤
Mick Lynch and the Unite Union regional representative more than held their own here and gave good accounts of why these disputes are taking place and possible solutions to resolve them. If Keir Stramer wins the next general election, let's hope he brings the national rail network back into public ownership, where it belongs - very engaging; thanks for uploading.
These so called politicians haven't got a f*cking clue....crack on mick lynch you're the man...👍
yes
The reason mps keep losing the argument is they lost the moral highground , simple decency would prevent many of these questions. Really are a vile immoral bunch.
🎯🎯
Absolutely 💯 agree.
Mick always quotes his sources MPs never do,
What exactly is the propper format for citing your own arse?
Because he’s done his homework while MPs have civil servants & staff to do theirs.
Please keep this up Mick Lynch - the absolute cheek of these smug tories, thinking they can get away with their self-interested blinkered schemes at the expense of so many peoples' livelihoods. They don't even acknowledge the sweat dripping on their foreheads... I'd say they need help but they're supposed to be the ones helping us (i.e. the whole country). Despicable. Miserable situation but people like Mick give me hope. Good will always prevail eventually, as is beginning to show here.
Quite proud to be a union member watching this…. 😁
There should be a referendum on whether the government can use public funds to compensate companies for the money they have lost caused by strikes.Who's country is this the electorates or the conservative party's?
The WEF/UN. Governments in U.K. and round the world obey the orders from these unelected wallahs.
At the moment it is an extremely corrupt tory dictatorship.
It literally makes my blood boil. Who in the hell is deciding to give our money to these fat cats when the idea of strike is to hit them in the pocket? NEVER TRUST A TORY.
Especially given a lot of councils are very short of cash right now.
Here here 👏 👏 👏
It's amazing how they just push aside the corruption like it has no meaning in the whole situation.
They're conservatives. That's what they do.
Mick scrubs up quite well…no matter what you think of the guy he is laid back and unflustered. I think he is bang on.
They must have a hell of a job to get people to sit in the same room as Mick Lynch, 2 minutes and they are in his pocket.
I’m a striking postman and I am proud to have my union the CWU ✊✊✊✊
Thank you
Nicholas Hart: More power to you ✊✊✌️
How much do you get paid and how much do you expect to get paid? Would you encourage your kids to be a postman? Do you think it should be a well paying job? Just curious
Terms and conditions are what we are protecting and the service
The C W U has done a very good job. But they couldn't get any deal. From a company that wants to get rid of staff. The want a fire re higher
It's quite strange how the media never mention the change of working conditions, permanent nights etc.
... and neithed do their masters, the "politicians "
As someone looking at all this who doesn't live in the UK, Mick Lynch is a hugely impressive figure. No bullshit, focused on finding solutions, calm, logical, intelligent, persuasive, a natural leader, a great communicator, puts complex ideas across in an understandable way, can crucify opponents with a smile, has a coherent story to tell. Contrast this with Keir Starmer. Why isn't this guy the Prime Minister?
"You cannot get a pay raise without a job." That's brilliant.
News for Tory MPs living mainly on passive income.
Most of our MPs manage to get a pay rise without doing anything. Just saying.
Mick and Eddie are the only people who can make things right and I would like to urge everyone to join together and support them. I've met Eddie Dempsey in person and can assure you he is a decent honest kind hearted caring and compassionate Man who simply wants all key workers to enjoy job security, a decent roof over their heads, good quality food for their Families, a decent education system with happy Teachers, and a free NHS service, properly staffed. Both Mick and Eddie speak the truth. Eye watering sums of money are being siphoned out of public services that have been privatised, which has shifted the focus to paying the shareholders maximum dividends and bonuses, invariably untaxed, as opposed to actually providing decent services. This is not just about a truly realistic pay rise, it is about SAFETY.
Well said Mr Norman.
Are ticket office staff key workers?
@@terrencehook2031 If someone travelling has any kind of disability or needs special assistance Terrence yes they are key staff.
Eddie has a bit of a sketchy past though...
@@timyardley7042 They are called porters not ticket office staff. Read the question. And what you describe happens once in a blue moon

We should, I agree. But will we!?!
I have my doubts. We are too fractured nowadays.
:/
But lots of working class people in the UK believe that the royal family are special :p it's that sort of thinking that enables the Tories :p
@@rhodesboyson1700 well not really because it's not like they have any say on who you vote for lol
@@rhodesboyson1700 do they? Surely some but in my experience in a working class community many don’t support it at all. The silent majority that the UK right wing don’t want to talk about…

Mike is a absolute legend, he always has a excellent reply.
A good proportion of the electorate have been convinced that the only employer they can work for is a private employer.They have been cohersed over the years that the present mode of working is the only way.As a retired union rep,I can remember the days when, if an employer stated that he/she couldn't afford to give the employees a pay rise,the union had a legal right to look at the employers books,and the claim would go to arbitration by law,if a rise was possible,it had to be granted.
Im a simple man.
I see Mike Lynch, I click.
“It hasn’t affected rail companies’ profit. Because of government subsidy it hasn’t affected their bottom line at all”
[Completely ignoring point] “But if rail companies are to *survive*…they need people buying tickets to travel on them”
Evidently not, since we hand over our tax money to keep their profits up - passengers or not, strikes or not.
Thats a takedown/knockout...time to wrap it up folks...game, set and match!
Tories have consistently voted against regulating rail fares
That's the thing isn't it? Someone makes a key point and they just ignore it and continue putting their argument across as if the point you've just made was never made. I've had this with an employer recently and I would make these points, believe they took them on board but later in the discussion they would say something that my earlier point already disproved.

This was a calculated, coordinated attempt from the Tory’s to trip Mick up and he absolutely embarrassed them all.
Mick is wiping the floor with the Tories
Not yet. It takes an informed electorate to kick them out and even then the people have to take back the Labour Party.
Mick Lynch needs to run for primeminister. He is EXACTLY what this country needs to pull us out this shitstorm. He is 100% genuine in everything he says and has a wide range of knowledge in economics and statistics. I feel like if he didn't know something he would ask for advice off his council and advisors rather than just guess his way through everything as we've had from our most recent primeministers.

to make profit you need risk...well said
In response to that opening question; many members have only lost a small amount of money. Network rail relies on overtime as it is, therefore many members are able to work some extra shifts to cover their losses on strike days. If network rail could really afford to cut jobs, they’d enforce an overtime ban. I don’t believe they’d be able to manage if they did this and the maintenance would fall heavily into backlog.
anyone else find it refreshing when someone talks straight sense? feel like the air I'm breathing all of a sudden becomes clearer. What happens when all you see and hear most of the time is utter bullshit and lies
There is no getting away from the fact that facts are facts and truth is truth - no amount of politicizing will alter this . MP speak with forked tongue !
Thanks for the upload, Joe. Mick represents his members so well, he gives me hope.
My Father was a Union Shop Steward and told me of his dealings with the boss at one company where the Workers hadn't had a pay rise in nearly 3 years. A meeting was arranged and All the Managers were there and representatives of the Workers through their Union, and the only person they were missing was the Boss himself. This Man kept the whole room of people waiting for him for well over and hour and my Father said the atmosphere in the room was not good.
Finally he arrived, literally crashing the door open, stormed into the room and stood at the head of the table and shouted 'Give them Fucking Nothing', then turned round and stormed out, leaving the Managers open mouthed and the Union Rep's in shock.
My Father was an Amateur Boxer and did National Service and he said he'd never wanted to kill somebody so much. This is the environment that the tories want to reintroduce, and tear up the hard fought rights that Working people have had to fight for. We need to kick the tories out NOW.
Well said Mick. Respect to you. Keep fighting.
Working class lad vs ex Public school conservatives.
Don’t fall into the trap that Labour (or anyone else) would be handling things any better. They might have diff strategies but ultimately the model they are all going for is a cosy ubtopia for them whilst we all duke it out on the socialist scrapheap.
No contest.
Victory to the workers!
I've seen several Mick Lynch interviews, and Dear God please make our politicians as articulate and informed as him to get us out of the total sh*tshow we appear to be content with. The people need to be educated to break this elite circle of doom 😕
You’ve got my backing Mick Lynch!
Just renationalise the train industry and kick these unseen private equity funds out. And while we're at it get them out of the energy sector as well. Certain crucial industries of national importance should simply not be privatised.
🎯💯👍
Renationalization would not work with this government they would just do what they have with national health and flood the rail industry with useless managers instead of hands-on workers. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians.
Well done Mick!
Can you imagine the same system for ambulance drivers the drivers would go on strike then the government would still be paying for the service but it would be the public that would suffer with no incentive to get it sorted if the NHS was privatised.
The public taxes should not be used to protect companies profits.
Mick stop talking sense and showing compassion and reason when I'm just trying to look after my mates and my pension fund. Bloody decent human beings are such pain in the arse.
As a Scot listening to this I really despair at the level of ignorance shown by Tory members. By way of example when the 'Chair' says there is no difference between Scotrail and others in the Private sector he misses the point in that the Nationalised rail operator is there to provide a service to the travelling public and not to line the pockets of Private coy's and their shareholders.
Yep, the chairman really showed his true colours with his snidey response when the Scottish MP just explained they started off on a much closer basis in first round of negotiation!
💯
Fantastic. He is worth every penny
It’s fascinating to see how Mick Lynch responds to questions: he reframes the question: to highlight the real failure of the railways which is the failed private model that allows train operators to take no capital risk in exchange for profit.
If this country had more Mick Lynches we would be in a better place
The difference is MIck Lynch knows what he is talking about
MP: Do you not think it would have been reasonable to at least put [the 8% pay offer] to ALL your members?
Lynch: We did put it to our members through their elected reps. Isn't that what you do in this chamber everyday?
MP: No, not at all; we all actually have our vote!
Lynch: Well what about all your constituents? Will they vote on the budget?
Beautifully done 🥳😎
Mick Lynch: logic
MPs: ill-researched hyberbole
Yeah bang on!
That's the way to slap down a myopic schoolboy Tory MP, without resorting to calling him an ill informed, snot nosed fuck, as I must confess I'd have been hard pressed not to do.
Dopes
Precisely!!! Lynch is brilliant!!!!
MP: What offer would you accept?
Yeah, nice try! He doesn't have to answer that. He will know it when he gets it. Way to go Lynch! Keep up the good work!
I have loved these strikes. I have been working from home all year. It's been wonderful. Love the workers! For the many not the few ✊️✊️✊️
Mick lynch is so calm and collected UP THE RMT
The Tories on the committee are only interested in demeaning Lynch and the union position. Mick Lynch is knowledgeable and fluent and very effective. In contrast to the (misplaced) confident attitude of the Tories, the Labour members sound timid and half-apologetic in their manner. The unions are fully in the right over this dispute and Labour must be more forceful in their support, particularly in hearings such as this.
Do these people just enjoy being dismantled and made fools of? Because that’s what happened every time they go up against Mick. He’s clued up in ways they cannot even comprehend and that’s why they move on quickly once he starts pushing out figures and bits of information backed up research, facts and experience. The man just knows his stuff.
If Mick Lynch and Eddie Dempsey create an new workers political party I would definatley vote them.

Nail on the head once again Mick.
Mick you're an inspiration,,, a legend 😍
Love this guy. The Tories have ruined this country. Everything is worse under the Tories, absolutely everything
Mick Lynch you are BRILLIANT. Just plain and simple honesty.
The absolute worst thing here is the apparent lack of knowledge about any of this. I'm a spectator and I know what's happening but these people are our representatives and they've come to question someone for whom they clearly do not care for and with the most incredibly unqualified smugness. They're wasting Mick Lynch's time (not to mention the precious oxygen!) and he should not be having to sit there catching them in their own rhetorical traps. Fun as that may be.
What we can see here is the death of conservative ideology. They haven't realised it's the end of the line.
They have no escape clause that lets them nationalise things for the sake of the nation. They hold a minority view, that the government should take a backseat to the public services and leave them to the private sphere.
What is clear is that no amount of evidence to the contrary can convince them. Not even the fact that even helping private businesses to thrive is proof that they can't without the state.
And without the state providing a level playing field the private sector suffers too. As they actually can't do many of the things they claim to be able to do. Capita was a great example of that.
This is ideology that is harmful. This belief in the made up economic theories of yesteryear.
Human beings, does he even know what that means?
