This is happening tonight in the House Of Commons so good luck to the trade unions and MPs who have lobbied for so long to overturn the worst aspects of Tory anti trade union laws. Guardian today reported only 36 Labour MPs were set to rebel and try and tighten up the legislation so that strikers are protected and fascists expelled from union branches. Last year the Trade Union Freedom Bill was of course filibustered out in the House Of Commons so let's a hope a similar fate does not befall the amendments backed by Labour MPs like Dennis Skinner, John McDonnell, Jon Cruddas and Andrew Dismore as well as unions like UNITE, RMT and the Bakers' Union. And apologies for the earlier inertia .
