Harper: Govt could have stopped strike misery months ago

Responding to Mark Harper on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg indicating he is hopeful for a deal to resolve the rail strikes, Liberal Democrat Cabinet Office Spokesperson Christine Jardine MP said:

"This Government has spent months dithering, delaying and refusing to get around the table to resolve strike action. Millions of people have suffered upheaval and still, the Government won't set out a timetable for resolution. 

"All of these strikes are a mess of the Government’s own creation. The Conservatives have failed workers and the public at the same time for months. They could have stopped these strikes from ever happening, but they didn’t, people are crying out for this strike misery to end."
