"“Labour's affiliated unions have been clear that Labour cannot continue on its current path. Whilst we recognise progress has been made, such as aspects of the Employment Rights Act and the increase in the minimum wage, the results at the election last week were devastating. Labour is not doing enough to deliver the change that working people voted for at the general election.”"
"“Our focus is on the fundamental change of direction on economic policy and political strategy that unions have been clear is needed, and not on the personalities and unfolding political drama in Westminster.”"
"“It's clear that the prime minister will not lead Labour into the next election, and at some stage a plan will have to be put in place for the election of a new leader.”"
"“This is a point where the future of the party we founded will be debated and determined - and we are working closely as unions to shape a shared vision on policy, political strategy and economic policy that will re-orient Labour back to working people, so Labour do what it was elected to do: govern in the interests of workers.”"
Affiliated unions have increased pressure on Keir Starmer by stating Labour cannot continue on its current path. Unions acknowledge some progress since the Government took office, including aspects of the Employment Rights Act and an increase in the minimum wage. They argue that recent election results were devastating and that Labour is not doing enough to deliver the change working people voted for. Unions call for fundamental change in economic policy and political strategy rather than focusing on personalities in Westminster. They state it is clear the prime minister will not lead Labour into the next election and that a plan will be needed to elect a new leader. Unions say they are working together to shape a shared vision to reorient Labour toward working people.
