Tory Ministers have been accused to attempting to deliberately inflame the rail strikes by condemning the action by the RMT union as “militant”.
Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab took a swipe at striking railway workers ahead of the second day of industrial action that will close down the rail network on Thursday.
Raab said the government cannot “relent” and allow striking rail workers to “win” the argument amid the biggest industrial action on the network in three decades.
