Embattled Liz Truss is teeing up a fierce clash with unions with a legal bid to prevent transport services grinding to a halt.
New legislation will be tabled today to ensure "minimum service levels" on rail and buses to prevent shutdowns during industrial action.
The Prime Minister said the bill would prevent Brits from being "held to ransom by strike action" in a move that has enraged unions already gunning for the largest bout of walkouts in more than a decade.
