Mick Lynch just had Richard Madeley for breakfast and you love to see it

RMT boss Mick Lynch has been all over the TV and radio today after rail unions announced another bunch of strikes in the run-up to Christmas and over the New Year.

They included an appearance on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, where Richard Madeley was on typically, er, Richard Madeley form as he quizzed the RMT man about the latest plans for industrial action.

Now it’s not the first time Madeley has interviewed Lynch on GMB. Remember this?

And surely Madeley would have learned from that this time round. Well, maybe. Maybe not.

They dont get paid when they go on strike, & they make a sacrifice in order to defend their t&cs”. Solidarity ✊ pic.twitter.com/RCbzG8j0Js

Not.

Clearly, it doesn’t matter to Richard Madeley what the public thinks of him with questions like that.

Lynch's patience in the face of asinine rubbish is laudable https://t.co/iy0mpRFb3t

How can you hate this man? Im 23 and things like sick pay and workers rights sound archaic to me. Things my dad used to talk about, things i learnt in history class. @RMTunion ‘s Mick Lynch is bang on. Im a working class lad, and i want the workers rights that i learnt about

And just to be a completist and all that, there was also this.
