Workers’ rights – Workington hustings

Once again Labour candidate Sue Hayman speaks with authority and passion about Labour’s plans to protect working people, whether or not we leave the EU. Her conservative opponent, Mark Jenkinson frankly acknowledges that he doesn’t understand the question and sits down after just a few seconds of waffle. What is very clear is the difference both in attitude and in ability. The Labour candidate is able and willing to tackle the issues head on whereas the Conservative candidate really doesn’t appear to have given workers’ rights much thought. No surprise there, then.
