Wednesday 23 November 2022 01:26 AM DAILY MAIL COMMENT: Unions, not business, matter to Keir Starmer trends now
Traditionally, the Tory party has been on the side of the entrepreneurs who create wealth and jobs.
Today it is a damning indictment of the Conservatives, as they tax the country until the pips squeak, that Labour is stealing its mantle as the champion of business.
But in a speech to the Confederation of British Industry yesterday, Keir Starmer’s pro-enterprise mask slipped.
The trade unions, he warned ominously, would have a key role in shaping policy if he won power. That’s because Labour’s leader is in hock to the hard-Left barons bringing the nation to a standstill.

Yesterday, the rail workers’ union announced a new wave of strikes, which will inflict misery on the travelling public and businesses over Christmas.
When will this Government show some gumption and bring in the strike-busting laws they have repeatedly promised?
Nurses, civil servants, postal staff and teachers are among others who have vowed to walk out unless they get unaffordable inflation-busting pay rises.
Where does Sir Keir, who aspires to be PM, stand? With the people or the wreckers?
He has certainly failed to condemn these damaging and uncalled for strikes.
