‘Is that who I think it is?’ Arthur Scargill joins rail picket line in Sheffield

Former NUM leader says he feels duty-bound to offer his support to striking workers, and has choice words for Starmer and Johnson

I will never stop fighting ... you must be joking?" said Arthur Scargill as he joined striking railway workers on the picket line in Sheffield.

The former leader of the National Union of Mineworkers is 84 and maybe not as nimble on his feet as he once was, but none of the fire in his belly would seem to have died down. Nor have his opinions mellowed.
