Together, we elected a Labour Govt with a promise to deliver a New Deal for Working People. A year on, they are delivering on that promise: the Employment Rights Bill will soon be law, they've just published their plan to implement it - and this is just the beginning. #newdeal

c2c has gone into public ownership. We welcome that. But it must mean more than a change of name. We need a rail system that puts people before profit with job protections, better pay, conditions & safety, and affordable fares that make rail first choice for travel in Britain.
