Stephen Flynn calls for Rishi Sunak to follow SNP Government's lead on dealing with strikes

Stephen Flynn has called on Rishi Sunak to "see the error of his ways and follow the Scottish Government's lead" on dealing with public-sector strikes.

The new SNP Westminster leader, who took over from Ian Blackford last week, praised Holyrood for engaging in "positive and proactive" talks with unions to avert a strike by members of Unite and Unison.

Members of the RCN, GMB and Chartered Society of Physiotherapy put strikes on hold while they vote on the deal. In November, the government tabled an offer of 7.5 per cent which would see most NHS staff in Scotland get a rise of more than £2,200 per year.
