Strengthening workers’ rights should be Labour’s priority

[Jemmons]

by Jeremy Corbyn

The economy isn’t working for millions of our people. Real wages have fallen, insecurity and low-paid jobs are spreading, investment is stagnating, corporate scandals are multiplying and Britain is heading for another downturn.

Economic failure is a central reason why people are no longer prepared to accept politics as usual. It’s one of the reasons I was elected Labour leader in a landslide 10 months ago – and why there can be no going back to a broken economic model or the politics of the past. Even Theresa May understands she has to pay lip service to change in the workplace and the boardroom.

1. You're absolutely right...but shouldn't this be in the UK group?

n/t.

2. Thx, but all credits to Corbyn for being awsome!

3. Agreed.

I think that's why the MPs are so obsessed with getting rid of him as leader.

Not because they think he would lead them to defeat...because they think he could lead them to victory, and if he did that he would destroy the narrative that Labour can ONLY win with a leader from the far right of the party.
