PMQs LIVE: 'Backing the strikers!' Boris rages at Labour 'They take £10m from the unions!'

Boris Johnson has told a Labour MP to “get off the picket line if she wants to support working people”.

Labour MP Kate Osborne (Jarrow) said: “Tens of thousands of people were marching through London last weekend protesting against this out-of-touch Government.

“Rail workers are on strike, Royal Mail workers, NHS workers, teachers and even barristers are on the verge of taking industrial actions. All workers are struggling to cope with the worst cost-of-living crisis in history.

“Ministers are planning to boost city bosses pay whilst demanding wage restraint for everyone else. So can the Prime Minister tell me, when is he going to stop meaningless soundbites and instead start supporting working people across our country?”

Mr Johnson said: “If she wants to support the working people of this country, can I suggest she gets off the picket line… and has a word with her leader, and supports the travelling public of this country who want to see a reduction in their costs of transport, which this Government is delivering.”
