LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer must start representing the working class or “step aside” as Labour leader, RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said ahead of the party’s annual conference. 

The rail union leader warned that working people are facing the “most militant right-wing government” in their lifetimes, as he addressed a rally hosted by former shadow chancellor John McDonnell in Liverpool on Saturday night.  

“I just wish that the people that are meant to be representing us were as bold and radical as [the Tories] have shown in the last two or three days,” he said.
