Coming together to end Tory rule
Important contributions from CLP delegates, trade union delegates and members of the shadow cabinet show how we can come together for a better Britain, writes MATT WILLGRESS 
Len McCluskey, General Secretary of Unite the Union (centre) and delegates voting on Labour's Brexit policy during the Labour Party Conference at the Brighton Centre in Brighton.

UNITE the Union general secretary Len McCluskey set conference on fire yesterday with an impassioned speech in support of Jeremy Corbyn and an alternative to “austerity economics and neoliberal dogma.”

To get to a Corbyn-led socialist government, he emphasised the need for unity. 

As part of this, we must not get side-tracked by our opponents who want to stop us discussing how we will improve the living standards and public services of the majority, and will do anything to stop a future election campaign focusing on the failure of austerity and the desperate need to end it.
