...says Heather Wakefield, UNISON's national secretary for local government, in her upbeat Public Finance blog direct from the Labour Party conference.
'A strong message about the roots of the economic crisis underpinned the PM’s speech. Condemning the Conservative view that ‘markets always self correct, never self destruct’, we were also told in no uncertain terms that ‘bankers had lost sight of basic British values’ and negligent ones would in future be disqualified.
That was not the only pledge to bring the party faithful to their feet, applauding an impassioned Leader with deepest red gusto. Praising the NHS as a ’60-year long liberation’ and the best insurance policy his own family ever possessed, he promised diagnostic tests within one week for patients thought to have cancer and a National Care Service to end the postcode lottery, with free domiciliary care for those in greatest need.'
