TRADE UNIONISTS at Stand Up To Racism (SUTR’s) annual conference warned of the threat workers face from Reform UK.

Speakers at Saturday’s event in central London highlighted how far-right figures are using the issues facing working-class communities and scapegoating migrants to drive division and weaken the workers’ struggle.

They called for unity and warned that the labour movement would need to provide answers on austerity, healthcare, privatisation, housing and employment issues to grab the argument away from the far right.
