Apparently the first tube strike will affect drivers who start their
shifts between 2101 on 19 June and 0300 on 20 June. Surely that's
practically no-one?

It will affect and RMT drivers booking on for night duties who decide to
go on strike (and potentially lose three days money over the coming
fortnight).

It will have very little effect other than the possibility of a first or
last train being cancelled.

I see that the reason for that night's strike is on the rmt website:

"RMT's ballot mandate to hold strikes expires after 20 June, so the law forces
us to take action before then. But we are also striking the following week,
rather than waiting for the decision of Arwyn's Tribunal. Why?"

Because its Wimbledon and the selfish ****s can wreck a load of peoples
summer fun to make their petty little point.

Hopefully Cable might grow a pair and actually implement the 50% ballot
requirement for striking rather than just making huffing and puffing noises.
