JEREMY CORBYN hailed the victories of the shopfloor workers over George Osborne yesterday as he recalled the year’s fights against tax credit cuts and longer Sunday trading hours.

Speaking to delegates at the Usdaw annual conference in Blackpool, the Labour leader said that his party and trade unions together could “provide strength and security for each other.”

The mood was clear as delegates repeatedly labelled Mr Corbyn “Britain’s next prime minister” in their contributions to debate.
