Amber Rudd turns on striking Southern rail workers
Home secretary is among Tory MPs pinning blame on unions, saying they are causing ‘miserable period’ for her constituents
Tory MPs including Amber Rudd, the home secretary, whose constituents have been affected by the disruption of Southern rail services, have stepped up their criticism of the continuing industrial action.
Members of rail union Aslef will strike for three days this week in a move that the MP for Hastings and Rye branded totally unacceptable. The strikes will halt all Southern services, disrupting the 500,000 passengers who use its services in southern England every day.
