Labour government will put workers first
Rights central to Corbyn administration, leader tells Hardie fans
WORKERS’ rights will be central to the next Labour government, party leader Jeremy Corbyn told a huge rally in south Wales at the weekend.

He said that Keir Hardie had begun work as a child labourer in the Lanarkshire coalfield aged 10, working at the pits until being blacklisted at 23.
