PM could be ejected from Downing Street if Welsh Labour loses Senedd elections in May, First Minister says
ANDY BURNHAM vowed yesterday to lead the fight against “entirely unjustifiable” Tory attacks on strike rights if he is elected Labour leader.
The party leadership front-runner told journalists that the government’s Trade Union Bill was part of a “campaign of demonisation” against organised workers.
“I hope civil society more broadly mobilises a campaign against it,” said Mr Burnham. “As Labour leader I will be in a strong position to lead that.”
