Olivia Blake, Labour MP for Sheffield Hallam, says the government is 'missing in action' in the rail strike, which has disrupted train services for a second day. As inflation in the UK hits a fresh 40-year high, Blake tells Bloomberg's Yuan Potts and Stephen Carroll she will join a picket line to support rail staff in their pay claims. Also on the show, we speak to barrister Simon Spence QC about upcoming strike action by the Criminal Bar Association over legal aid payments.
