TRADE unionists gathered at the STUC conference agreed today to fight for policies on public services to be adopted in the Labour Party’s latest constitutional report.
The STUC general council noted the work done by the Labour Party Commission on the Future of the United Kingdom, welcoming its call for the abolition of the House of Lords and replacement with an “assembly for nations and regions.”
However, the council also acknowledged that the document made no reference to STUC policy on the role of publicly owned public services and utilities as part of the “constitutional requirement to rebalance the UK economy so that prosperity and investment can be spread more equally between the different parts of the UK.”
As Reform UK threatens to capitalise on public anger, our Establishment politicians simply refuse to acknowledge their role in creating the very alienation that gives succour to Farage, writes CRAIG ANDERSON
