Contexto
“On behalf of the executive council, and I hope on behalf of everyone, I would say to those people who are trying to put the knife into Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell they need to wind their necks in and shut up and abide by the democratic decision of Labour party members, affiliated trade unionists and supporters and also in non-affiliated trade unions like us, like PCS, like the RMT. John and Jeremy have stood by those unions through thick and thin.”
