Whether you like the man or not , Neil Kinnock was correct when in his anti-Militant Tendency speech of 1985 he said , " You don't play politics with peoples' jobs . "

I want to see the jobs , the livelihoods , and the welfare of the people of this country guaranteed in any alternative to the EU .
What Neil Kinnock said was just empty rhetoric. Politicians have always played politics on the back of Jobs. Ask those who work for Bombardier at Derby and see what they say.
