ust home from a great ‘Your Party’ meeting in Leeds, I had the privilege of speaking about the importance of organising in our workplaces & communities & not just waiting for a political party to fix everything as exciting as the new party is, we need a whole movement!

The Government should be delivering for people - not delivering more austerity and a program that fuels the far-right.

Our message to Labour is simple: the time for excuses is over. It's time to deliver - Sarah Woolley, BFAWU General Secretary.
