Network Rail boss Andrew Haines said Lynch’s “heightened aggression” was due to fears he was losing his membership.
Mr Haines said Lynch “is worried that strikes won’t hold for ten days” and “knows he’s got to find a way to do a deal”.About half of lines were closed on the first day of a 48-hour strikeAbout half of lines were closed on yesterday’s first day of a 48-hour strike.Ministers point to the £31billion poured into running railways over the past two years, with each household contributing £1,000.
And striking members are down thousands of pounds in lost earnings. The hospitality sector faces a £1.5billion hit in lost sales. Transport Secretary Mark Harper told ITV News: “The tide of opinion amongst the public is turning. They would like the fair and reasonable offer on the table to be accepted.”

You’ve done a lie there. Big bloody lie.
Top man Mick. The Government don't give a toss about the workers.
Despicable excuse for a newspaper 🤮 never bought one, never will istandwithstrikers
Never liked the guy, the workers should take the 5% & get the 4% in 2023 its still 9% they never had, lynch is sitting on thousands off the strikes while workers is suffering , not always is this man right 9% is better than nowt
Lying Tory pricks.
You can see his a hardman lefty who is out for himself.
The certainty don’t have my support
Actually support hasn't dropped at all but nice try
You lie and smear anyone who stands up for worker's and the millions struggling to survive whilst the rich are getting obscenely richer, tax cuts from a government that is spaffing billions on failed corrupt contracts to their mates. Scum works for non tax paying exile Murdoch.
You right wing corrupt rag
The millionaires news is trying it's best to bring the people's struggle of fare pay down. But that won't happen.
Deregulation for the banks, more regulation for the unions - welcome to Rishi Sunak’s “golden age”
We support his.
Lying Tory loving scum paper
Coming from a newspaper that fucked up and lied over Hillsborough? What moral guidance am I supposed to take from this shitrag?
She ditched you for Boris. How’s that for a legacy ‘Arry
Pathetic newspaper
He’s so got you lot rattled. Some may believe your propaganda but the majority don’t. We support the right to fight for better pay, terms & conditions against the greedy CEOs and shareholders. EnoughIsEnough
Support the strike
No it doesn’t. Never buy the Sun, the paper for tossers run by the corrupt establishment elite pricks
Don't give them overtime either
Support RMTunion
No. No it doesn't. Your crappy paper continues to make a loss printing lies.
He could always Moonlight as a Phi Collins tribute act.
What the sun and Tories do.
Cobblers. You are a sham.
Stop gaslighting.
In the uk people like Matt Hancock, responsible for thousands of deaths, are able to regain their reputation through a reality TV show because of media like the Sun. Working class Mick Lynch is however vilified for doing a job he was elected to do by other working class people.
Utter b*llocks and you know it. Gaslighting is a crime, criminalised in December 2015 under Section 76 of the Serious Crime Act (2015). Much like Section 1 of RIPA makes the unauthorised interception of communications a criminal offence... dontbuythesun
Jokers. You are a disgrace to the working class of this country. Train companies taking out millions and you have a go at the staff? You are just worried you might have to give your own staff a fair pay rise. We see you. Mick is fighting for all the working class.
He's forgot the people,napoleon syndrome
Time for a lynch mob in his honour
Lies.
Sources at The Sun say the pair of numpties that wrote this article are paid £250K plus expenses per year for 2 hours work a week making up this rubbish. Furthermore the Editor who allows this stuff to be printed is on £1.5million plus bonuses.
And your readership rockets....which one of us is the liar ....hmm...
Your front page today is a disgrace, you’re an absolute desperate and despicable bunch. Imagine working people like train guards and ticket staff having the temerity to want to be able to heat their homes and put food on the table, whatever next?!
Your dirty lying filthy rag is good for something, dontbuythesun JFT97 thesunlies
Has it? Have you got a poll that shows this because I have a poll from YouGov that says otherwise. Scared nonsense as usual from The Sun.
Personally I think he’s brilliant. I’m 100% behind the man 👍
Bollocks. Tory propaganda rag. Wouldn’t wipe my arse with it.

allen_tanya How much for his Phil Collins gigs?
Good another Arthur Scargill. He will still earn his thousands in wages while the public suffer and the pubs and restaurants suffer with lack of trade .
“Support plummets”? Lol
desperate and pathetic, most support the union. if you've not turned the people against him yet with this all out offensive, you probably never will.
No it doesn't
wonder how much support the Sun has lost over the last 20 years.....
Desperate gaslighting from the Sun. He's not losing support. You just want to push the narrative that he is to your knuckledraggers. Your paymasters are getting scared aren't they?
Lies…. RMTSolidarity
I still support Lynch and the people he represents, who are battling for better pay. The Sun is a disgusting shitrag, written by illiterate deadbeats, who would sell their grannies and very possibly have, in some cases. The Sun's function is degradation. Never forget.
Scummy rag
Don’t expect anything less from a Tory rag, wouldn’t wipe my arse with this paper
That’s £500,000 a year less than Andrew Haines the CEO of networkrail
The words 'Arthur Scargill' should be burning Lynch's ears. He thought he could bully the government of Maggie, and lost.
Your hoping but I can’t see any of that happening just more bullshit lies from a shit paper again
Imagine believing you have any credibility whatsoever
Just like you lost so many readers are you called Liverpool supports scum, this rag of a paper loves to put out false stories
The sun at its best with lies .
why don't you print on the front page that the govt are PAYING the rail companies £30 MILLION every day these wonderful workers go on strike. You must have been watching a differewnt interview from the one i saw, it was Madeley that lost the plot.
What a crap “newspaper”. 💩
Absolute Bullshit - Tory rag .
A regurgitation of the same bollocks by the lying hard right media from the 1980s. Then it was about how much Gormley and Scargill “pocketed”. The Tories are responsible for the strikes which will continue to escalate through the winter. NeverBuyTheSun SupportRailWorkers
I love how lynch has the establishment rattled,well done👏
Bollocks!
Mick Lynch wouldn’t be doing his job if he didn’t upset newspapers like The Scum now would he
MICK LYNCH ONLY SENSIBLE, ETHICAL AND ARTICULATE MAN IN ENGLISH POLITICS… MICK LYNCH FOR PM!!!
DontBuyTheSun
Attacking the working class when your target audience is the working class (despite being a publication owned by a billionaire Tory supporter) is beyond stupid even by The Scum's low standards. This pathetic vilification appears to have backfired spectacularly. Good.
More lies from the scum newspaper
The government is winning the war on strikers. 👍👍👍👍👍
If you don’t want to read a rag that spreads bullshit on behalf of the rich … try this …
Never ever believe anything in the Scun. Following Liverpool Never buy the Tory press.
Jog on you pack of crooked hacks…
BS and you know it.
He used union to frustrate government not knowing he's days were numbered
More investigation needs to be done he's integrity is imbalance character in question let's get the truth and Truth will set him free
...about time the Digger and the rest of our press owners started paying taxes in the UK...!!
...when's Cole going too write about the TWENTY NINE MILLION POUNDS OF PUBLIC FUNDS BARONESS MONE POCKETED FOR SUPPLYING UNUSABLE PPE..I won't hold my breath...
...what utter tripe....what does your editor get for editing your failing rag...or Cole for that matter...both over rewarded for what they do...!?
Wretched paper. Proud to say i've never bought a copy.
“Losing public support”? I don’t think so, you can fool some of the people some of the time…… DontBuyTheSun TheSunTellsLies TheSunComicForMorons
🤣🤣🤣 keep trying Tories…Lynch has far fromlost his rag. 5k is fuck all when you have a future without any income…not unlike yourselves when your Tory pay masters are kicked into touch…neverbythesun
Still got my support, I work for different people every week from all economic backgrounds and they all have his support, the sun however doesn't hence the dreadful abc figures, and this is obviously the latest hit peice that will fail like your paper
Support workers rights. You've lost it more readers lost for you! Trade unions are massively subscribed and supported. How do you come to a figure of 5k lost to members. Misleading headlines.
Damned right they are on strike and good on them - everyone is feeling the cost of living and if they have the strength to strike then fair play. But as Usual the tabloids will post their own rhetoric, oh for an impartial press!...
Quoting £84k a year as if its a wild salary? Behave. There's MP's out there claiming more than that in expenses
Nice to see the staff at that so called newspaper The Sunn stepping up to the plate for their billionaire global masters. Hope your rag dies and all that work for this toilet paper loose their jobs, effing karma.
Wishful thinking from the odious wankers at the Sun. Trade union action still has massive public support while Rupert Murdoch is despised across three continents🧐
He's representing thousands of working people who voted to strike. He's not forcing them, he's not costing them or the country anything, he's standing up for them, getting support from everywhere. Paying the private rail co.s whether they deliver a service or not costs a fortune.
just to let you know, you have lost another customer, from buying your rag!
The Scum. Telling lies well before Hillsborough
I'm pro-Scottish independence and I back Mick Lynch. You're one of the reasons I'm pro-independence, and why I stopped buying newspapers👍 We're all right behind you, Mick
thankfully nobody reads the Sun and its lies anymore...
Scum
Lies
Gutter press trying to paint Unions & Union leaders as the bogeymen, when we all know who’s to blame for our current woes! 🙄
Non-dom, billionaire Murdoch and the media barons trying to turn public opinion against the RMT. Maybe if the mongos that buy your shitrag maybe ask questions as to why the owners are happy to keep publishing this ‘paper’ at £51m per year loss we’d see progress
Spot in headline, nobody supports these strikes
Protect your business interests Sun, screw the people
“If I say it, then it must be true!”
Didn’t your sister paper,the Scottish Sun,sensationalise the Aberdeen rail crash in 2020 due to maintenance aspects not being fully carried out?NRail now seeking to reduce maintenance’s by 50%. Also want to bring in driverless trains.
Lynch is on the 'Rattler'.
Railways have a major problem due to the WFH revolution. Rather like the coal industry striking when we had nuclear power. If you’re fighting from a position of increasing weakness it won’t end in your favour.
Gutter press
Sure thing, Scum.
What you are afraid of is that he isn't losing support .
If people like the chap on TV last night, who work for the RMT, say he is losing £1000's by being on strike, but is prepared to remain on strike till next year, if he can afford to do that, then they don't need a massive pay rise like they are demanding do they. Greed yet again.
The Sun is the paramilitary wing of the Tory Party. Ignore everything the Sun writes.
I’ve not heard a bad word said against him other than what the press say
And you wonder why you’re slowly going down the pan🤦♂️
No he hasn't lost public support Up the RMTunion FUCKTHESUN
Sun backs the bosses. Big surprise.
When your on the front page of this dirty scummy lying rag you know your doing something right time to end this rag the city of Liverpool did & the ruling lying class of tory MPs self serving sociopaths it supports JFT97
Useless propaganda that doesn't work in the 21st century. You'll have to try harder than that scumbags. SupportTheStrikes
Give me Mad Mick over Rank Rupert any day dontbuythesun
The working class might have no money because rags like you don't want us to have any, but you can be certain that we'll still manage to muster together an amazing party when you lot go out of business 🥳 🎉
loukeegs Oh dear, the once favourite of the working classes hasn’t grasped the reality of the situation, Liverpool should have been the wake up call
I can't wait until you go out of business.

The scum insinuating that is Mick Lynch who wants the strikes. It's his members demanding it, not the other way round
THE SUN a corrupt it gaslighting tóraidhe rag
He hasn’t even broken sweat yet. Keep it up Mick and the RMTunion . You’ve got them on the run.
I don't think this headline has gone the way you hoped. The strikers & unions are still enjoying overwhelming public support
No he's not media bollocks again
Well, being a Sun headline we know it's lies.
🤣🤣🤣 post has been up for almost 10hrs & not a single comment agreeing with you. Fantastic journalism, never seen a news paper so out of touch
It's a coup to take out the coup that is Sunak and the WEF. Vote Reform UK 🇬🇧
The Sun sides with the bosses against its own readers. The public supports Mick Lynch and all the strikers.
Shite. Your comic is Tory shite.
The Unions are literally the organisations of ordinary working people. So good luck to the hard right extremists trying to drive a wedge. They think 'ordinary working people' are stupid.
Remember when you also said that Hillsborough victims were thieves and urinated on the dead? Scum.
markjenkinsonmp Will your newspaper survive the revolution? I think not… People won’t forget how you’ve divided this nation for years
Now you're just embarrassing yourself!
Haaha the racist anti workers rag is panicking.. Beautiful
Aww bless, you think
How much do CEOs of essential services earn? How much do they take in bonuses, share options and payment towards pension schemes? When those essential services put customers before profit maybe then I would feel more inclined to oppose strike action. Where are those figures?
🤣🤣🤣 you couldn't be anymore wrong, the working people back Mick Lynch & quite a few of us would be up for a general strike. If anyone is losing anything, it's your sh*te rag losing readers
There's a reason your paper is dying off
shunthesun gutter newspaper, hated by most. Solidarity with RMTunion.
Pathetic propaganda. The corrupt Conservatives government have crippled the country not the workers wanting a fair wage
More lies lapped up by readers of the Scum!
No evidence of falling support. But then facts aren't your forte, eh? Arsewipes.
Didn’t think the Sun was a government lackey. Headlines worthy of toilet paper as usual!
What a rag of a paper. On the government’s side again. Hope you go bust!
Errrrrr……….
What a bunch of balls
The real enemy of the people.
Same old drivel........it's three years today since the 2019 general election. Since then, the UK Government is reported to have wastefully spent or dubiously allocated £69,222,884,250 of taxpayer money.........
I support the Strikes!
Scum rag.
The sun is scum
🤦♀️Funny how everyone that is on strike, they and their unions are losing the plot - Yous forget this is more about conditions that employers are expected to work in, just the same as pay rise, if not more - And how much do yous earn, seen as you tell everyone else’s wages!🤷♀️
The Sun is the least credible paper in the country, on the verge of going bust and fingers crossed it does. He's elected, he isn't losing support, we definitely have not lost £5k, the GOVERNMENT has already crippled the economy, absolute rag of a paper.
Yet one man on £84k - much less than you’ve paid Jordan over the years can bring that much attention to this membership
Lost it? Oh please..😂😂😂 neverbuythes*um
And the media manipulation of the masses begins… nothing but a Tory rag that people with a brain wouldn’t even use as bog roll
journalists would happily kick a nurse in the head …..

As usual. The opposite is the truth.
And how well does the Sun think English people took those billboards, that the Sun rented all over Paris ?
