Pound and UK government bonds have suffered a torrid month, as Rishi Sunak warns of risk that markets lose faith in UK economy
Rail union leaders said they were “looking for support” from Labour MPs on the picket line as the Transport Salaried Staffs’ Association (TSSA) announced a 24-hour strike next month timed to coincide with the party’s autumn conference.
Thousands of TSSA members who work for Network Rail as well as nine train companies will strike from midday on Monday 26 September until noon the following day, bringing further disruption to Great Britain’s railways in a continued dispute over pay, jobs and conditions.
