Asked if he supported the rail strikes planned for later this month, Wes Streeting, the shadow health minister, told the BBC’s Question Time: “As I said, I would rather they did not go ahead. “Put it this way, if I was a member of RMT and my jobs were in danger like that, then I would vote for the strike and I would vote to defend my jobs, my terms and conditions. “If I were a government minister at the moment, it is not my job to be on the picket line, it is not my job to condemn the unions, it is my job to solve the problem, to put people around the table to reassure passengers. they do not suffer “.
