Jamie Carragher sends four word message to Boris Johnson

Jamie Carragher has issued a four-word message to Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Taking to Twitter on Tuesday, the Liverpool FC legend showed his support for rail workers who are taking industrial action in what has been called the "biggest rail strike in history". The action has been called and voted for by members of the Rail and Maritime Transport Workers Union, with staff from Network Rail and 13 train firms to walk out.

Whilst Merseyrail staff are not taking part in the industrial action, it will involve Network Rail staff who operate the signalling systems and provide crucial maintenance which allow services to run safely. The operator said it is unable to provide any train services on days when industrial action is taking place.

Boris Johnson shared a tweet on Tuesday afternoon, saying: "The strikes today are wrong and unnecessary.". Responding to the tweet, and throwing his weight behind those who have walked out as part of the strike, Jamie Carragher shared a meme.

The image featured a photo of the Prime Minister raising a drink, above a picture of rail employees at work. Text across the meme simply said: "They partied. We worked".
