Do British workers really not want to work in the NHS? No, they want to, but they struggle first to find the money to train, then to live on the wages. And have been reluctant to fight for pay…
Keep it clean
As negotiations on Brexit begin, a new pamphlet cuts through the hard/soft waffle that dominates the media…
Push the blockers aside

Rising to the manufacturing challenge
The era of taking instructions from the EU is over. With the government reversing decades of free market ideology and creating an industrial strategy, unions need to radically recalibrate their own thinking…
A future for fishing
The EU almost snuffed out Britain’s fishing fleets. Now the industry is looking at a huge opportunity…
Customs union – another unification ploy
The Scottish and Welsh regional administrations are urging the government to stay in the single market – predictably, since it effectively means staying in the EU and under the authority of its Court of Justice. But they are also calling for Britain to stay in the Customs Union.
Real independence and the single market trap
When the EU invented the concept of the “single market”, it was playing fast and loose with language. It’s not so much a market, more a mechanism for enforcing EU control over national economies and national life…
We're not a bargaining chip, say fishermen
Fishing communities around Britain are looking for guarantees that their industry will not lose out again after Brexit
