Opponents will no doubt claim the Labour leader is handing out goodies in return for unions funding the party's election campaign.
When Mr Blair was Labour leader it was claimed that when he spoke at the TUC or the party's Scottish conference he was so desperate to get away quickly that he asked his driver to leave the car engine running.
He promised a new Ministry of Employment Rights; repealing the Tory trade union laws within 100 days of Labour taking office; a living wage of at least £10 per hour for all workers from the age of 16; action on the gender pay gap; equal rights for all workers from day one; the end of zero-hour contracts; and no more working until 75 before getting a pension.
After proceedings wrapped up in the Commons last night, Boris Johnson will need to consider his next move. It was all very friendly and comradely, a real love-in. In the old days we would have had talked about beer and sandwiches and smoke-filled rooms. "And in that election we will commit to a public vote with a credible option to leave and the option to remain."So not only did Mr Corbyn tell the unions what they wanted to hear on workers' rights, but also on an EU referendum as well.
