LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer appeared on a nurses’ picket line in London today — in the form of a life-size cardboard cut-out delivered by strike supporters from the Momentum campaign group.

The stunt came with a demand that Sir Keir “get off the fence” and support nurses, teachers, firefighters, postal workers, rail workers and others who are striking for better pay after a decade of freezes and real-terms wage cuts.

And Momentum called on him to honour a Labour Party conference declaration supporting wage rises at least in line with inflation.
