Commenting on the speech today (Monday) by shadow chancellor John McDonnell at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, UNISON general secretary Dave Prentis said:
“Labour has set out a radical, inspiring and achievable alternative to Conservative economic chaos.
“Working people need a Labour government and an end to Tory austerity rule.
“It was great to hear the shadow chancellor reiterate his commitment to bringing water back into public ownership. Now it’s time for Labour to commit to bringing all public services back in house within the first year of a Labour government.”
