RMT's Mick Lynch says rail strike talks are 'definitely moving'
RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch says negotiations to avoid more planned rail strikes are “definitely moving”, but that they’ve got to “find out whether it is meaningful or just window dressing”.
Mr Lynch also feels that since Mark Harper has become transport secretary, there has been a “different approach” to negotiations.

Transport Secretary Mark Harper declines to say whether Frank Hester has donated an extra five million pounds to the Conservative Party, refusing to comment on "hypothetical" questions. Mr Hester allegedly said in 2019 that Diane Abbott, Britain's longest-serving black MP, made him "want to hate all black women" and that she "should be shot". Reports emerged this week that Mr Hester may have offered £5 million more, which has not yet been published by the Electoral Commission. Report by Blairm.
