FRESH festive strikes threaten travel chaos, to dishevel Harrods, leave Whitehall without caterers, and a shortage of turkeys nationwide.

Unite, Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union and United Voices of the World (UVW) announced strike action by hundreds of workers over the Christmas period today.

Key domestic and international routes at Edinburgh airport are set to be grounded after Unite announced a 19-day strike by fuel tanker workers over pay.
