TEACHERS striking over pay sang a Christmas carol outside Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s constituency office in Leeds today.

National Education Union (NEU) general secretary Daniel Kebede joined about 60 teachers and supporters who gathered to listen to speeches and sing the strikers’ version of The 12 Days Of Christmas.

The action marked the fourth one-day strike across England as part of a pay dispute, with some 2,000 NEU members taking part across the country.
