Transport Secretary Mark Harper has urged London Mayor Sadiq Khan to use new laws to minimize the impact of an upcoming strike by the RMT union on the London Underground. Khan, however, has criticized the new strike laws as being 'not fit for purpose' and is in talks with the RMT union to avoid the strikes. The government has introduced 'minimum service levels' to keep London moving during the planned walkout. Additionally, Harper emphasized the importance of warning signs to protect hedgehogs from road accidents.
