Piers Morgan has come under fire for suggesting trade union leader Mick Lynch is “wreaking havoc on the world” in the midst of rail strikes in the UK.

The pair clashed live on air after Piers’ criticised Mick’s Facebook profile picture, which is an image of the Thunderbird’s villain The Hood.

“I’m a working class leader of a trade union that’s in a dispute over jobs, pay and working conditions,” he said in response to the accusation that he was depicting himself as evil. Twitter users labelled Pier’s stance on the strike as “misreading the room” and praised Mick’s no-nonsense approach to the interview.The general secretary of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers has clashed with several TV presenters this week during media appearances related to the strike.

13 train operators and Network Rail staff took to the picket line on Tuesday and further strike action is planned for Thursday and Saturday if no resolution is found. The disruption to transport services would likely affect several major events planned in the UK this weekend, including Glastonbury Festival and gigs by performers such as Elton John and the Rolling Stones.
