This rail union boss’s takedown of a Cabinet minister on Newsnight is an amazing watch

Rail union boss Mick Lynch is all over the airwaves right now as Britain goes into its biggest train strike for decades.

More of this sort of thing, please.

And here are just a few of the many, many things people were saying about it.
