Mick Lynch accused Richard Madeley of coming up with “the most remarkable twaddle” in a blistering GMB appearance this week.

The general secretary of the RMT union hit back after he was accused of being a Marxist by the TV presenter.

He said: “I’m not a Marxist, I’m an elected official of the RMT, I’m a working-class bloke leading a trade union dispute about jobs, pay and conditions.”

Former Tory MP Rory Stewart praised Lynch for his handling of the question, suggesting others should “study his techniques.”

Mick Lynch is proving a pretty remarkable media performer – with an uncanny knack of flustering his questioners – others should study his techniques – here and with Piers Morgan earlier https://t.co/ccY1uNtJVb

Elsewhere, homeless charity Streets Kitchen said that watching Lynch interviews on repeat “does wonders for the soul”.

And Martin Lewis even came out in support for the trade union man, saying he “doesn’t envy those who have to face him across the negotiating table.”

Interesting interview. I think describing Mick Lynch as flustered is pushing it a tad. He comes across as almost scarily unflustered to me – I don't envy those who have to face him across a negotiating table. https://t.co/cHrSQ7tRpn

Earlier this week Lynch came to blows with Tory minister Chris Philp on Newsnight.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
