Don't underestimate Starmer's push for workers' rights - it could be his defining legacy | Martin Kettle

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : For the first time in decades, and with public support, dignity and fairness in the workplace are back on the political agendaNever underestimate the capacity of the political world to focus on questions that are relatively trivial in the larger scheme of things, all while issues of much greater significance stare them in the face.
51% : To Starmer, and to the shadow chancellor, Rachel Reeves, the case for strengthened workers' rights is rooted in two linked things.
47% : For some unions, including Unite, workers' rights are still what they were in 20th-century Britain, a zero-sum game, in which rights for workers essentially means more power for trade unions.
41% : But the recent row over Abbott drowned out a far more consequential internal Labour argument - the one over workers' rights.
