Standard: Petty party politics sinking tube strike talks
5 Jan 2024
After talks to avert a tube strike failed, Rob Blackie criticised the Labour Mayor and Conservative Government for engaging in petty party politics. He said:
"The London economy depends on its world-class transport system but it is being driven into second-class status by petty party politics.
“The capital desperately needs a mayor who is prepared to do the tough job of negotiation and settle these disputes in good time. Instead, Londoners look set to face more misery in the coming weeks.”
