after Boris' shambles?
It's reported the Conservatives are on course to lose more than 800 council seats in next month's local elections.
If that trend happened at a general election it would see Sir Keir Starmer become Prime Minister.
Are you backing him?
Would you back a general strike?
@RMTunion
boss Mick Lynch has said 'synchronised industrial action' will be necessary if the next Prime Minister attempts to stop unions from striking in future.
Do you think us all going on strike is a good idea?
The Prime Minister has insisted he won't back down over striking workers, however, a survey has found that around two thirds of the public support the walkouts.
Do you think the government is out of touch with the mood of the country?
Do striking nurses still have your support?
Nurses have walked out of wards in the largest industrial action so far.
It's after they rejected the government's pay offer.
Nurses from intensive care units & some A&E departments are also walking out.
Do they have your support?
Should we ban asylum for channel migrants?
The Home Secretary wants a blanket ban on people who enter the UK illegally from being able to ask for asylum.
