It's the trade union who "leaked" an over-stated problem to the press and, naturally, the left wing of the Labour Party is behind this - I would say. An attack on our nation.

I don't think a trade union was at the talks.

I think they do exactly the opposite - try and get the most ridiculous policies to work.
