Mick Lynch addressed a crowd gathered in Westminster to rally against "anti-strike" laws on Wednesday, 1 February.

Demonstrators were protesting controversial government plans for a new law on minimum service levels during strikes.

He also urged the crowd not to become divided over who they work for, the country they're from, or their beliefs.

"We will not be divided ... we are the working class. We are here. We are demanding change," the RMT union boss said.

In an impassioned speech, he said: "We refuse to be poor, and we are going to win for our people."

So umm, quick question folks. Where is the money coming from to pay the pay rises? And what will it do to inflation? Maybe we should put taxes up even more?

From the states I can say that we need this fighting spirit. I truly hope it's enough to overcome the Tories in the UK and that your nation prospers once again.
