%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%Fifa and the national football associations of the UK should put pressure on Qatar to improve the "sub-human" working conditions of thousands of migrant labourers building facilities for the 2022 World Cup, Labour's shadow international development secretary Jim Murphy has said.
