Petition to defend Corbyn

Leave a comment

As you may have seen in the newspapers recently, after Labour lost the Copeland seat our General Secretary Dave Prentis was quoted in the media blaming Corbyn for the defeat.

Some UNISON activists have put together a petition to defend Corbyn. Whilst it is clear that there is a lot of work to do to turn around Labour’s electoral fortunes, it isn’t helped by sniping in the press or unfairly putting all the blame on Jeremy for something that is a much wider problem.

Here is a link to the petition
