RAIL union boss Mick Lynch has said Scottish nationalist MPs are “closer" to the RMT's position than Labour as he criticised Keir Starmer’s apparent unwillingness to empathise with workers.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union are taking a second consecutive day of industrial action on Wednesday in a dispute over pay and conditions, with strikes by Network Rail staff impacting services across Scotland.
Labour leader Starmer has told his MPs to stay away from picket lines, with any shadow ministers who fail to follow orders risking disciplinary action.
