Manchester mayor says he sees no controversy in Labour frontbenchers joining strikers during cost of living crisis
Andy Burnham has voiced criticism of Keir Starmer’s policy of stopping Labour frontbenchers from joining picket lines, saying he would not “see this as controversial” during a crisis over the cost of living.
The mayor of Greater Manchester is due to join Mick Lynch, the leader of the RMT rail union at the launch of the Enough is Enough movement in the city on Tuesday. The new movement is calling for lower energy prices and increases to wages and benefits.
