Amid the Brexit muddle, we need to get back to the basics of workers’ rights
The world of work must be our number one political issue, however Brexit turns out, argues DAVE WARD

AFTER another night of Brexit votes in Parliament this week, it feels like the government is no closer to finding a way forward. 

After dragging us into this mess in the first place in the name of party management, this week has been about nothing more than patching up the Tory Party once again so it can limp on in government. 

For all the triumphalism about being able to win a vote in Parliament, Theresa May is now heading back to Brussels with a plan that the EU has already rejected. The reality is that we are now closer to a cliff-edge, with a Prime Minister at the mercy of the hard right of her party.
