Business Secretary Grant Shapps denies remaining involved in the rail strikes
(Picture: PA Wire)Cabinet minister Grant Shapps said he appeared to have been “living rent free in Mick Lynch’s head” after the RMT boss accused him of pulling strings behind the scenes about the Government’s stance on rail strikes.
Mr Lynch, general secretary of the Rail, Maritime and Transport workers’ union, claimed last month that Mr Shapps was still involved in the dispute despite no longer being Transport Secretary.
