Is it documented somewhere that this recognition of the war effort was a stated reason for the IOM having been a fully integrated part of the NHS?

It's in the paper work and early regulations for reciprocity of welfare state benefits, pensions, and NHS. I came across it regularly when looking at reciprocity issues when sitting as Social Security Appeals Tribunal Chair. It's in the 1948 Hansard for the ioM NHS legislation. It was supposed to be seamless between IoM GB and Northern Ireland ( the system in NI is wholly separately legislated - but fully reciprocally integrated. Much of the IoM stuff was based on the GB NI agreements.

Nothing to do with squashing workers' rights being a bad thing, no?

No ! Bringing the country to a standstill , ruining the main earning period for 100s of 1000s & put lives at risk is unacceptable

Not only unions fund the Labour Party, probably not just rich people funding the Conservatives. 

You get what you pay for in this day and age.

Why Labour can’t afford to lose the trade unions

They have contributed 58 per cent of the party’s donations and loans so far this year.

I'm not keen on the unions either.

But at least the Labour Party didn't take money from oligarchs linked to Putin.

The nurses deserve more money though, right? It's really not ok them having to use food banks.

But it's a mixed picture. The postal union is definitely standing in the way of modernisation and refusing to accept that the old fashioned letter service should be phased out. And the rail unions supported Brexit - which helped to create the cost of living crisis.

Being in Government for so long and creating the conditions whereby the rich were squirrelling away their newly purchased assets and the rest being denied the same advantages by austerity measures is unacceptable.

Clue is in the name…”Labour” party. A political party founded on the notion of supporting those who work for a living.

same with the tory party… 

“As a political term, Tory was an insult (derived from the Middle Irish word tóraidhe, modern Irish tóraí, meaning "outlaw", "robber"”
