Sunak claims workers are ‘tired of being foot soldiers in Mick Lynch’s class war’

The Prime Minister has accused union boss Mick Lynch of making rail workers and border officers “foot soldiers” in his “class war”, claiming that “an increasing number of union members want a deal”.Writing in The Sun on Sunday, Rishi Sunak said the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) had been offered deals that are “fair” and “affordable to taxpayers” but these had been rejected.“The unions are causing misery for millions, with transport strikes in particular cruelly timed to hit outings at Christmas,” he said.
