Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn with Shadow education secretary Angela Rayner in Swidnon, 2018
LABOUR in government will set up a commission to “put social justice at the heart of everything,” Jeremy Corbyn and Angela Rayner announced today.
Speaking in Birmingham, the party’s leader and shadow education secretary said that the next Labour administration would focus on social justice rather than social mobility.
