Labour has 'caved in to unions' with 15% pay deal for train drivers

The deal, which is to be voted on by the Aslef union, would include a backdated 5% increase for 2019 to 2022, 4.75% for 2022 to 2024 and a further 4.5% for 2024 to 2025.

Labour has insisted their pay offer to train drivers is a "good deal for the taxpayer" because it will prevent further strikes.

But Tory Helen Whately said: "A 'no strings' deal means this will be paid for by passengers and taxpayers."
