The former Labour leader gave a call for action as he attended a rally with the hard-line National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) boss Mick Lynch yesterday. Addressing hundreds of people in Norfolk he urged workers to wreak havoc across the country by taking part in industrial action.

He said: “All workers across all industries deserve fair pay, conditions and treatment at work.

“Let’s have an autumn of demand and a winter of discontent, if necessary.”

Mr Corbyn’s speech was delivered at the Burston Strike School Rally event organised to celebrate the longest strike in English history that lasted from 1914 to 1939.
