Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has hit back at Gary Neville after he slammed the government over nursing strikes - and urged the former Manchester United and England star to talk about football rather than politics.
Neville has been highly critical of the Conservative government in recent months and highlighted the industrial action that was taken by a host of nurses last week. The Royal College of Nursing has urged the government to implement a pay rise of five per cent above inflation and are set to take to the picket lines again in the coming days alongside rail and postal workers.
Prior to the World Cup final, Neville took the opportunity to call out Sunak and the UK government, as well as the regime in Qatar that staged the tournament, over low pay and poor working conditions.
