Union tells government: call a General Election
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
UNISON general secretary Dave Prentis has told the government to call a general election so that “the people, not the out-of-touch elite” can improve Britain’s fortunes.
Mr Prentis told the union’s annual conference in Liverpool that outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May must call a general election to end the Brexit deadlock.
Mr Prentis took a shot at Ms May who he branded a “failure” and said she had “achieved nothing in office.”
