Corbyn throws up a thumb at the CWU conference
JEREMY CORBYN brought down the house at the CWU conference today with a speech emphasising the importance of the trade union movement to the Labour Party.
The Labour leader arrived on stage to a standing ovation, telling delegates: “I have been a trade unionist all my life and I’m very proud to say I will die a trade unionist because I believe the trade unions are an essential part of our movement and our society.”
