RMT threatens to withdraw support for MPs

The RMT is threatening to withdraw funding from six Labour MPs in protest at the party's failure to support rail workers involved in the current strike protests.

Those who risk losing financial support include Robin Cook and the former transport supremo John Prescott.

The first day of a two day strike went ahead yesterday although South West Trains was able to run a third of its trains after managers were allocated guard and station duties.
