Rees-Mogg turns down chance to back striking posties
Rees-Mogg in Parliament

TORY rightwinger Jacob Rees-Mogg declined an opportunity today to offer support to Britain’s postal workers.

In a Commons session, Scottish Labour MP and former Parcelforce worker Hugh Gaffney asked Mr Rees-Mogg if he would “stand with the postal workers, who face a threat to their jobs, terms and conditions.”

Mr Gaffney, who said posties’ union CWU had “made history” with its 97 per cent national ballot Yes vote, also asked if the house would accept a debate on the “undemocratic” 2016 Trade Union Act.
