Analysis | No 10 sticking to its guns on strikes – but is this sustainable? – By Beth Rigby (SKY News) / Jan 16, 2023

The third Monday in January is coined “Blue Monday” because it is supposedly the most depressing day of the year, due to the combination of bad weather, stretched finances and broken new year resolutions.

Meanwhile, the GMB union also met to discuss further ambulance strikes with its members.
