'Go Mishal!' Britons rally to newsreader's defence after 'boorish and arrogant' union boss Mick Lynch accuses her of being a 'right-wing parrot' during 'perfectly proper' interview

Brits have rushed to Mishal Husain's (left) defence after 'boorish and arrogant' RMT boss Mick Lynch (right) accused her of 'parroting' right-wing 'propaganda'. Fans took to Twitter (insets) to rally behind the newsreader for 'doing her job' after the railway union leader objecting to her line of questioning this morning on BBC Radio 4's Today programme. The listeners alleged Mr Lynch is not helping his union's case by being 'aggressive and unpleasant' during his 'perfectly proper interview' with Ms Husain. The heated exchange came as a month of planned walkouts began today, with RMT members staging their first wave of 48-hour strikes amid a cold snap continuing to grip the UK.
