LABOUR'S trade union backers have urged Keir Starmer to see off the right-wingers moaning about reforms to workers rights.

The party's 11 affiliated unions, including Unite, Unison and the GMB, said the "country voted for change they can see and feel - and put their trust in Labour to make it happen".

In a rare joint appeal, the group urged the government to double down.
