LONDON UNDERGROUND WORKERS ACCUSED OF 'ECONOMIC SABOTAGE' BY SENIOR TORIES AS COMMUTERS ARE CAUGHT IN TRAVEL CHAOS OVER STRIKE AT PLANS TO CLOSE TICKET OFFICES

Commuters were caught up in travel chaos this morning as London Underground workers went on strike in protest at plans to close Tube ticket offices.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Union walked out for 48 hours at 9pm last night, while disruption is also set to continue next week.

Passengers have been told services will start later and finish earlier during this week's strike, which will be followed by a three-day stoppage from 9pm next Monday.
This morning senior Tories said the strike was ‘economic sabotage’, and called on Labour leader Ed Miliband to stand up to the unions.















Deputy chief whip Greg Hands, Conservative MP for Chelsea and Fulham, told MailOnline: ‘This is economic sabotage from militant trade unionists holding my constituents and Londoners in general to ransom. 

'And all, it seems, in an effort to prove their leftist credentials in advance of a leadership election.’
Meanwhile the Prime Minister took to Twitter to condemn the strike, saying: 'It is unacceptable that millions of people are having their lives disrupted by today's Tube strike in London.'
