At likely final gathering of the TUC before next general election, focus was on chucking the Tories out of office
Angela Rayner, Starmer’s deputy and the star turn in Liverpool, gave what she said was a “cast-iron guarantee” that the package would be tabled within Labour’s first 100 days., however: Unite, which has shifted from being intimately entwined with Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour leadership under Len McCluskey, to vehement critic under his successor, Sharon Graham.
Although Graham avoided the dinner with Starmer, several of her top lieutenants were there, showing that relations with the party have not completely crumbled. Christina McAnea, general secretary of public sector union Unison, said: “I would like Labour to give much firmer spending commitments to protect public services. That would be a big deal to us. But I also understand to a point why they won’t do that. They’ll be seen as the tax and spend party of old. But nearer the election, they are going to have to come forward with some proposals so people know what the choices are.

Health concerns as foul waste smell causes uproar among Ipswich residentsA foul smell from waste dumps in Brisbane’s west has sparked thousands of complaints to the Queensland government. Residents of Ipswich claim the smell is so bad it’s leaving them unable to breathe and causing severe illness. Local resident Michelle Phillip sat down with Sky News Australia to discuss how she is plagued by burning rashes and hives, which she claims are caused by the odour. “It’s made my skin pretty irritated and if I go outside my eyes water quite a bit,” she said. “I’m currently on four injections a month to help sort of contain it … I’m just sick of being on all this medication; I don’t want to be on all these injections, they’re painful.” More than 6,000 residents have complained to the Department of Environment and Science this year, concerned the stench from Swanbake Industrial Facilities is making them sick.
