LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer and MP Wes Streeting should “hang their heads in shame,” a union leader said after the shadow health secretary reportedly apologised for supporting striking workers.
Mr Streeting is reported to have apologised to Labour’s shadow cabinet for “bad publicity” created when he supported rail workers on the Question Time TV show.
He said on the TV show: “I would be voting to defend my job, terms and conditions,” he said.
“[If] you think you’re about to lose your job overnight . . . of course they’re fighting for their terms and conditions.”
Bakers’, Food and Allied Workers’ Union general secretary Sarah Woolley said: “What a sorry state we are in as a movement when a Labour MP, who is supposed to represent the working class, is apologising for supporting working people taking industrial action.
“Streeting and the party leadership should hang their heads in shame.
“Solidarity with the RMT!”
