Boris Johnson today pitted the public against striking rail workers as he accused them of “aggravating” the nation’s teenagers, workers and pensioners.
The Prime Minister told his Cabinet the “country as a whole” had to “stay the course” as thousands of services were cancelled on the first day of a three-day walkout, on and off until Saturday night.
Moments later, Mr Johnson indicated millions of public sector workers could not expect a proper pay rise this year because inflation is running at more than 10%.
