Corbyn calls for green industrial revolution – and pledges no sweetheart deals with Trump
JEREMY CORBYN has said Labour will resist a “sweetheart trade deal” with US president Donald Trump and will deliver a “green industrial revolution” for Scottish workers.
Speaking at the Fighting For Our Future rally in Kirkcaldy, Fife, the Labour leader said the party “will have no truck” with any deal that would lead to “intervention by American companies into our health service, into our public services.”
Mr Corbyn called for a “green industrial revolution” to rebuild areas such as Fife, where the local community has experienced recent instability due to the hollowing out of available work at the Bifab fabrication yards in Methil and Burntisland.
