🚨Our rail manufacturing sector is in crisis.

Jobs are already being lost due to months of inaction from Conservative Ministers, with thousands more at risk.

Britain created the railways, but that legacy is being trashed by a Government content to oversee their managed decline.

Great catching up with Mick Whelan at STUC today. The #NewDeal for working people is fantastically popular. Great vibe!
