Commenting on the prime minister’s speech at the Labour Party conference today (Tuesday), UNISON general secretary Christina McAnea said:
“The UK now has a government with the commitment, vision and ability to repair and revitalise every part of society.
“Clearing up the Tories’ mess won’t happen overnight. Austerity’s damaged so much the country holds dear, but Labour’s promised there’ll be no return to that painful time.
“Keir wants to put things right and give everyone the training and skills that allow everyone to play their part, no matter who they are.
“This is a government that values public services and what they can do to improve the life chances for all of us.
“The country’s on the right path. There’ll be obstacles ahead, but the prime minister has pledged to serve in the best interests of working people.
“Change is underway at long last.”
