Border Force officials will walk out over 23-26 December and again over 28-31 December, the Public and Commercial Services union confirmed on Wednesday (7 December).


Airports, including Manchester, have warned cancellations are possible over the strike period, with the government reportedly drawing up contingency plans, including deploying military resource.
