There is 56,000 HGV /Bus drivers applications and 1.4 million applications sitting on desks , only 40% of staff are going into work , sadly due to the nature of the work you cant work remotely as you have use secure database servers .

58 days of strike so far this year getting £40 per day strike pay they are backed by a number of Labour MP's let hope the jobs are not lost as that will really hurt those at the DVLA and all those support industries, perhaps Mark Drakeford could remind them of those job risks ,best they don't apply for Supermarket , Postman, Bus Driver , NHS jobs if they do become redundant as they gamely kept on working through the worst of this .
If Union workers have voted to strike. Its a fair ballot then why shouldnt Labour MPs back them.?
