Labour and leading trade unions have said they are unlikely to endorse any proposals from Theresa May aimed at improving workers’ rights after Brexit, with one leading figure accusing the prime minister of trying to “divide and rule”.

Prime minister phones union leaders in attempt to peddle her Brexit deal

Theresa May has taken the completely unprecedented move for a Conservative PM of telephoning union leaders, including Unite’s Len McCluskey, a close ally of Jeremy Corbyn, to lobby support for her Brexit plans ahead of next week’s Commons showdown. 

I think he gave her pleading a swerve.

Coronavirus latest news: Testing will take ‘weeks’ to sort amid ‘enormous challenges’, says Hancock

Unions are calling for a plan to rebuild public companies to assist get better from the coronavirus disaster, with no return to pay freezes and austerity.

The annual TUC Congress heard pleas from union leaders for the UK by no means to return to the times of cuts, outsourcing of companies and low pay.

Dave Prentis, basic secretary of Unison, stated many employees missed the weekly applause for the NHS as they have been too busy mopping hospital flooring, feeding and serving to sufferers, or working by means of the evening in mortuaries.

“Recollections are brief. Already there’s discuss of going again to regular, however we will by no means return to regular.

“Regular meant a decade of ache and austerity, pay freezes and cuts. Key public companies starved of sources and 700,000 jobs misplaced.

“Regular for public service employees was unsafe, and it meant stress and unfairness.

“Regular was being underappreciated, underpaid and undervalued. There have to be a brand new deal to rebuild all public companies, the place funding relies on want, the place companies are run in-house, for the general public good, not non-public greed.

“All that applause, rainbow footage and heartfelt thanks will not pay the lease or put meals on the desk.”

Support for Jeremy Corbyn and the left dominates Labour Party conference

The mood at Labour's conference echoed the excitement of some of Corbyn's leadership rallies (Pic: Neil Terry)

For the first time since Jeremy Corbyn was elected leader, the left was in complete control of Labour’s conference.

In Brighton this week delegates cheered pro-Corbyn speeches and enthusiastically supported radical policies.

It was also a huge boost to see thousands of people, many of them young, gather for the World Transformed. The festival was organised alongside the conference by Labour left group group Momentum.

Corbyn and shadow chancellor John McDonnell put forward bold plans.

McDonnell won loud applause as he attacked the wasteful Private Finance Initiatives (PFI) that suck money from public services to private firms.

“Over the next few decades, nearly £200 billion is scheduled to be paid out of public sector budgets in PFI deals,” he said.

“In the NHS alone, £831 million in pre-tax profits have been made over the past six years.”

He told delegates, “As early as 2002 this conference regretted the use of PFI. We will go further—we’ll bring existing PFI contracts back in-house.”

He also said, “Building an economy for the many means bringing ownership and control of the utilities and key services into the hands of people who use and work in them.

“Rail, water, energy, Royal Mail— we’re taking them back.”

Applauded

Earlier delegates and McDonnell applauded a speech by Unison union leader Dave Prentis.

He said scrapping the pay cap is “not enough” and there needed to be above inflation pay rises for all public sector workers.

“So this fight starts now,” he added.

“And if the time comes to strike I want to see all of you campaigning with us and on our picket lines.” But the detail of what Labour plans is less certain. An accompanying press release about the PFI policy said Labour would review PFI contracts and only take them back “if necessary”.......
