A union boss has accused Tory Grant Shapps of "lying" about striking NHS ambulance workers.
Sharon Graham, General Secretary of the Unite union, told the BBC the suggestion made by Mr Shapps this morning that ambulance workers did not provide minimum service during strike days was "an absolute, utter lie."
Tens of thousands of nurses and ambulance staff in England are set to walk out on Monday in what is expected to be the biggest strike in NHS history.
