The last of Unite's industrial conference in Brighton concluded on Friday 26th November with Tony Woodley and Derek Simpson vowing to use their remaining time in office to fight for a fourth Labour term.

"Labour must be re-elected because the alternative doesn't bear thinking about," declared Tony Woodley.
"Our union has to be on the front line, working for a Labour victory in next year's elections," he insisted.
