Keir Starmer is wrapping himself in the union jack in an attempt to appeal to 'a mythical middle England', RMT union leader Mick Lynch tells cathynewman .

The head of the RMT union Mick Lynch has warned the railway industry is ‘in crisis’ and that strike action across the rail network will go ahead as planned in the next two weeks if a deal cannot be reached, though he said a meeting with the transport secretary was very “pleasant”.

cathynewman Mick Lynch is spot on, chasing the Tory & Fib Dem vote in 'mythical middle England,' rather than trying to recover the working class vote won't get Starmer elected as PM.

cathynewman That's not what he said and you know it, Tory toadies C4News

cathynewman Mick, sit down on this one lad.

delia72_delia cathynewman He didn't say wrapping himself in the Union Jack, those are your words Channel 4, leading some people to think Mick said that. Naughty! Anyway, Micks answer was good, honest and reasonable. Can't ask for more really.

cathynewman Lynch out of line with most of the population on this. The anthem was sung to honour the late Queen and acknowledge the new King. What is wrong with Lynch/Corbyn? Are they trying to continue to make Labour unelectable?

cathynewman The union of Jacob. All there in the Bible, for anyone to read😇

cathynewman Mick a communist who lets his members down by supporting brexit

cathynewman The Daily Mail has a daily circulation of nearly a million, whether Mick likes it or not.

esmewren cathynewman RMTunion leader over-enjoying attention of MetroLand Media You know you’re doing something wrong when you’ve been invited to do haveigotnews Easy to see temptation of BBCOne offering you a £1,000 an hour of License Fee Payers money🥂🥳🕺🏻 Assuming parity with jessphillips

cathynewman It's about getting the background music right. People are then more likely to listen to policy.

cathynewman There is some truth in this - Starmer too frequently tells us what Labour won’t do for a perceived fear of upsetting the ‘middle ground’. Though Lynch’s comments are unhelpful as Labour are the only hope this country has.

cathynewman Lynch needs to take the long view and support Labour to get the Tories out.

cathynewman So nice to stumble on to a page of ill informed whinging remainers, your comments are so sloppy, no real basis in reality, Mick Lynch wasn't even the GS of the RMT when Brexit was voted on. He has made it quite clear he isn't a Marxist, just ask Madley, and it's his job to talk.

cathynewman Getting a bit tired of seeing Lynch every five minutes, moaning about Starmer and how appalling it is that Labour is becoming electable again. The new McCluskey.

cathynewman better to appeal to middle england than vladimir putin and the chinese communist party sucka

cathynewman It would be such a shame to attract that demographic, win an election and actually be in position to change things 🙄

cathynewman I guess he didn't watch any news in the last two weeks. People want Cool Britannia back. You can have a Labour Government & wear 3 lions on a shirt. The two are not incompatible.

cathynewman Quite right. Pusillanimous Kier….

cathynewman Unlike mick rapping himself in the Irish tricolor

cathynewman Mick promoted Brexit. He is an ardent brexiteer. 'You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time,but you can't fool all of the people all of the time' EIE .

cathynewman Mick has forgotten that the first rule of politics is to know how to count.

cathynewman Be quite you old fossil

cathynewman Mick .. really?

cathynewman He’s worried about giving ammo to the Express, Mail, Sun etc. But guess what? They’ll still attack him! They’ll make stuff up. They’ll do anything to stop him reversing Johnson’s and Truss’ attempt to turn the UK into a race-to-the-bottom, anything-goes billionaire’s playground!

cathynewman Mick Lynch never said anything about the union jack in the bit I heard. Are you making that bit up or is it in another recording?

cathynewman Does Mr Lynch mean his membership?

cathynewman IainDale again? 😄

cathynewman Some bots commenting already 😂😂😂,what is it about working people wanting a slice of the pie?... imagine wanting better for your family

cathynewman It’s not mythical, Mick. It’s your membership.

cathynewman Mick Lynch is a Brexiteer and has destroyed his members protections. He needs to have a look in the mirror.

cathynewman Mick is far left who supported brexit. Labour need to stay miles away from him

cathynewman Mick Lynch is a brexity twat. He's got what he asked for and is now complaining about it. He can do one. The RMT and it's nasty little Trot party are the enemy for those who want a decent Labour government.

cathynewman Though I admire Mick Lynch as a great leader and negotiator for his union, I do wonder which flag he'd prefer Kier Starmer to wrap himself in? Which flag does Mick imagine himself wrapped in when he is justifying his (rightful) actions to the country?

cathynewman Yeah but he's a Putin propagandist who should stick to striking for wokers' rights TBH.

cathynewman

cathynewman And the majority of us have seen right through it...

cathynewman Spot on again.

cathynewman Says the man who supports Outin

cathynewman So, someone who wants to be prime minister of the UK is trying to show some patriotism for the county he wants to govern. Obviously fails the No True Scotsman socialist purity fallacy.

cathynewman Refreshing to hear after all the flag w*nking.

cathynewman Keir the tory plant.

cathynewman Better than the Russian flag Lynch prefers.

cathynewman Amazing that Starmer doesn't ever tell the unions how to do their jobs...
