In the wake of Jeremy Corbyn’s decisive re-election as Labour leader, the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) has urged the party to unite and take on the Tories.
Matt Wrack, FBU general secretary, said: “After a bruising and unnecessary leadership contest, the party must start working together in order to bring Labour into government. As demonstrated by today’s overwhelming victory, Jeremy Corbyn still has the support of the vast majority of party members and now MP’s must respect his democratic mandate. That is a mandate for policies which support trade union rights, public services and a radical shift in political direction in favour of ordinary working people. Let's get to work.”
