SOLOMON HUGHES asks whether Labour ‘engaging with decision-makers’ with scandalous records of fleecing the public is really in our interests
A MEETING took place the other weekend in Clydebank which was organised by the local Unison, Unite and GMB branches and supported by Clydebank TUC and the People’s Assembly Scotland to discuss an anti-austerity agenda for trade unionists and community activists in West Dunbartonshire.
At the start of the meeting cheering broke out when it was announced that Jeremy Corbyn had won the election of the Labour Party leadership.
There is little doubt that the Corbyn campaign has had a tremendous motivating effect on activists and the wider public in working-class communities who have been of sick of years of a Tory-lite Labour Party.
