SOLOMON HUGHES asks whether Labour ‘engaging with decision-makers’ with scandalous records of fleecing the public is really in our interests

ON July 4 2024 a new government was elected and after 14 years of misery and austerity, I welcome the fact that Labour is now in charge and that we have a real opportunity to see policies that were promised prior to the election enacted.
We have reason to be optimistic going forward over the next five years. After all, Labour has a thumping majority, so they can make legislative changes to make the lives of working-class people better with a New Deal for Workers that is wide-ranging.
There is an opportunity to have growth in our economy, with no communities being left behind; Labour needs to be brave and implement those changes.

After one year of a Labour government attacking winter fuel allowance and disabled people, the trade union movement must step up regardless of who holds power, writes STEVE GILLAN
