With some of the media obsessed with Tory Brexit squabbles and other parts seemingly only interested in smearing Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters, it would be easy to forget that building on our popular manifesto last year, Labour has a range of policies that can rebuild and transform Britain in the interests of the overwhelming majority of people.
But, as the TUC meets this week, it could not be more important to restate how much is at stake in terms of working people’s rights in terms of our fight for a Corbyn-led Labour government.
Under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, with John McDonnell as his shadow chancellor, Labour has become not only a clearly anti-austerity party but also a party with a radical and determined vision to improve the rights of people in work and their trade unions. Again, Labour is embracing trade unions as vital parts not only of our party but of a fairer society, and many of our policies are those that trade unions have been advocating for years.
