Only one in four voters supports the strike by British Airways cabin crew, according to an opinion poll carried out in the days before the walk out.
A survey by ICM for BBC Radio 4’s Broadcasting House programme, found 60% believe the industrial action is “unjustified” while 25% expressed support.

Young people were the most supportive – 39% of 18 to 24-year-olds offering their backing to 44% opposed – the poll of 1,002 adults across Britain suggested.
The research also found that more than a third (36%) believe it is “unacceptable in today’s society” for workers to have the right to walk out at all.

Jade cancer ‘diagnosed too late’
Jade Goody would still be alive if NHS medics had spotted her “quite typical” symptoms of cervical cancer, a private doctor has claimed.
In a programme to be broadcast on Sunday, Dr Ann Coxon said if the disease had been learned three months earlier, Goody would have survived.
Early diagnosis could have saved Jade Goody, a doctor claims
She said: “Had she had diagnosis two or three months earlier she would be alive today. It was just too late.
“It’s understandable because cervical cancer is rare in people under the age of 30 but nevertheless the symptoms were quite typical of cervical cancer and the diagnosis was missed.
“Had she had a diagnosis at an earlier stage, her life would have been spared.”
