Labour Party,Union Leadership,Industry Closure

Reflecting on the past, the author questions the Labour Party's current stance on shutting down industries and supporting remote work, a stark contrast to their previous advocacy for workers' rights and industrial strength.

Forty years ago during the miners' strike, I spent much time drinking with the TUC general council's provisional wing in 'members only' bars. If someone had predicted that the Labour Party would deliberately put tens of thousands of workers out of employment, I would have thought they were delusional, even by the standards of the 1980s. Now, the Labour Party supports the closure of coal mines, power stations, steel works, and more.

The TUC leader, once a bastion of union strength, now advocates for remote work and the shutdown of British industry. This shift is hard to fathom, especially for those who remember the influential leaders of the past like Ron Todd, a former Royal Marine and Ford Essex car works convener
