MOMENTUM is launching a new "strike to win" campaign for a Labour victory today, by urging supporters to join the picket lines of university and climate strikers.

The pro-Jeremy Corbyn campaign group announced the new initiative calling on Labour activists to show solidarity with striking members of the UCU, as well as backing students walking out of schools against climate catastrophe.

University lecturers and staff began their eight-day strike on Monday against workplace casualisation, worsening pay and conditions, the gender pay gap and declining workplace conditions.
