It is unfair for unions to "disrupt people's lives" with public-sector strikes at Christmas, Conservative chairman Nadhim Zahawi has said.

He said plans were in place to draft in the military to drive ambulances and secure borders if walkouts went ahead.

Mr Zahawi also told the BBC Russian President Vladimir Putin "wants to see" strikes, but unions criticised this.

Thousands of workers from various industries are set to strike this month in disputes over pay and conditions.
