People cannot ‘spot the difference’ between Labour and Tories, RMT head slams

RAIL workers’ union general secretary Mick Lynch told Labour’s leaders yesterday that many voters cannot “spot the difference” between Labour and the Tories.

The RMT leader called on Sir Keir Starmer and his team “to show some clear water between themselves and The Daily Mail and the Telegraph – and themselves and the Conservatives.”

His comments came in an interview for Sky’s Sophie Ridge on Sunday programme, as Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner said that she is “not for nationalising something that is going to cost us a load of money that we haven’t got when we’ve got kids starving and in poverty.”
