The Labour leadership’s narrow definition of ‘working people’ leads to distorted and unjust Budget calculations, where the unearned income of the super-wealthy doesn’t factor in at all, argues JON TRICKETT MP
FACING the threat to millions as furlough is ended, we hear about “job loss” every day, as workers — as a result of factors beyond their control — are thrown out of work, deprived of income and thrown into individual and collective community desperation and deprivation.
