Transport secretary blasts rail unions for 'cynically targeting FA Cup final and Eurovision'
The Transport Secretary has caused a stir after accusing rail unions of 'cynically targeting' major events to cause disruption.
Mr Harper added that the RMT should stand "in solidarity" with Ukrainian rail workers who are targeted by Russian President Vladimir Putin. "He claims we are not standing in solidarity with Ukraine when he knows – or should know – that we have stood in solidarity with the people of that country much longer than he has. We were visiting workers in that country when Mr Harper and his pals in the Tory Party were still pocketing hundreds of thousands of pounds from Russian oligarchs close to Mr Putin!
