'No surprise': Liverpool MPs react to being targeted in Daily Mail front page

Liverpool MPs have reacted to being featured on the Daily Mail front page after joining striking rail workers on a picket line.

City MPs Dan Carden, Paula Barker, Kim Johnson and Ian Byrne were among a group identified by the Daily Mail in a front page that attempted to target Labour members for supporting RMT members out on strike yesterday. The Liverpool Labour politicians were pictured at a picket line outside London's Victoria station.

The newspaper chose to circle the heads of the Liverpool and fellow Labour MPs on the picket line next to a headline stating 'Labour Isn't Working'. The front page has been widely ridiculed by many on social media who have pointed out that Labour have not been in government for 12 years and that it is the Conservatives who are failing to work with the rail unions to end the strikes.
