CAMERON ADMITS: THIS BILL IS AN ANTI-STRIKE LAW
PM accidentally reveals true reasons behind hated Trade Union Bill

DAVID CAMERON unintentionally came clean about Tory attempts to ban dissent by working people yesterday when he admitted the Trade Union Bill amounted to “anti-strike laws.”

Government ministers had insisted the Bill was not an attack on trade union rights, but the Prime Minister revealed its real intention just hours after the proposals were published. 

Labour MP Ian Lavery told the Star it was clear the Bill represented “the greatest attack on working people in 30 years.”
