It’s time for a government that puts the country first, says UNISON

Commenting on Keir Starmer’s speech at the 154th Trades Union Congress in Brighton, UNISON general secretary Christina McAnea said: “It’s time for a government that puts the country first, is on the side of struggling families and anyone being ill-treated at work. 

“A Labour government under Keir would work with unions to solve problems, not see them as the enemy. Public services would be properly funded, its workforce paid a decent wage and social care transformed.

“The Tories know the game is up. It’s time for them all to stand aside and let someone else take the reins. A general election right away is the only way to put an end to the chaos in Westminster.”
