Labour 'supports the right to strike'

Shadow Climate Change Minister Kerry McCarthy has said Labour supports "the right to strike".

She said: "Our general line is that we support the right to strike and if unions have balloted their members and taken a democratic decision to go on strike, they're well within their rights to do that.

"We also think it's right for MPs to go out and talk to the people they represent, which is what Lisa Nandy was doing this week."

Ms McCarthy also called comments made by Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg about Nicola Sturgeon "juvenile" and said that it isn't a constructive way to build a relationship.
