Only Labour will deliver the change our members so desperately need
From working closely with Labour to write its New Deal for Working People, we know it is essential that Keir Starmer takes Downing Street at the next election, writes Usdaw general secretary PADDY LILLIS

THE chaos caused by the Conservative government in recent times has shown exactly why we need to come together to vote them out.

As we get closer to the next general election, it’s important that we all have a clear idea of exactly what is at stake and what we are fighting for when we are campaigning for a Labour government.

We know that Usdaw members recognise the importance of our campaigning after they again voted Yes to keeping their political voice. In the first result of this round of trade union political fund review ballots, 97 per cent voted Yes.
