50 years ago today, the Queen's Speech announced that, "Bills will be brought before you to promote improved industrial relations and to provide for equal pay for men and women."
The Minister behind the Equal Pay Act, Barbara Castle, remained to her dying day a staunch opponent of the EU, and of course that Act was passed before we ever joined the EU. We simply do not need the EU for workers' rights. We need a Government that believes in workers' rights. Meaning that we need to agitate, organise and vote for such a Government.
To that end, another hung Parliament is coming, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. A new party is now in the process of registration. After nearly 30 years of suggestion, speculation, and even a sort of preparation, I will stand for Parliament here at North West Durham. The crowdfunding page is here, and buy the book here.
