Bungling Tories’ ‘reckoning day’

- BY OLIVER MILNE Political Reporter

TORY ministers must face a “day of reckoning” for their bungled handling of the pandemic, the outgoing general secretary of Britain’s largest union has said.

In his final interview after 20 years at the top of

Unison, Dave Prentis, right, revealed that his union is already compiling evidence of Government failures from its

1.3 million members. He said the sacrifices of key workers are “beyond the comprehens­ion” of Tory ministers.

He told the Mirror: “Workers had to go into dangerous workplaces because they couldn’t abandon people who needed them.”
