Billy Bragg backs the McStrikes in Manchester

FOLK-PUNK singer Billy Bragg greeted Labour student activists campaigning for striking McDonald’s workers before performing at Manchester Academy on Monday night.

Manchester Labour Students secretary Sarah Cundy was among Labour activists collecting signatures from the queue outside the venue in support of striking workers at the transnational food chain.

After she tweeted Mr Bragg asking if he could congratulate the strikers on stage, he left the venue to go and find them.
