Gifts from The Morning Star

UNITE the Union general secretary Len McCluskey set conference on fire yesterday with an impassioned speech in support of Jeremy Corbyn and an alternative to “austerity economics and neoliberal dogma.”

To get to a Corbyn-led socialist government, he emphasised the need for unity.
