The trade union bureaucracy bears direct responsibility for delivering the working class into the hands of the Starmer government.

The minimum wage now stands at a miserly 12.71 an hour for workers aged 21 and over. Research shows 12 percent of working-age adults in employment still live in poverty, while a full-time worker on the minimum wage remains almost 7,000 a year below the income required for a minimum acceptable standard of living.
