The TUC General Secretary faced a grilling from LBC listeners earlier. Paul Nowak, who has only been in the job for a matter of months, claimed he was still to meet Rishi Sunak, clashed with a caller, Vivian, who had missed their best friend’s funeral, and also refused to rule out supporting police officer strikes.

Paul Nowak, 50, did appear calm, yet firm, when confronted by a distressed caller. Vivian in Wimbledon was rightly upset when she told of how she ‘couldn't attend her best friend’s funeral’ and ‘missed her daughter’s graduation’ due to strikes. Has Mr Nowak considered that public support may ‘wane a little’, quipped Vivian.
However, when asked by Robin in Whitehaven about whether Sir Keir should be on the picket line he claimed he supported the frontbench doing ‘more useful things… that really matter’ such as opposing the ‘spiteful’ Minimum Safety Bill as opposed to ‘standing on picket lines getting selfies' – take note Sam Tarry.
