Sir Keir Starmer is extending an olive branch to unions in a bid to get them on board with Labour’s plans for green energy transformation, i can reveal. 🔴ChaplainChloe reports:
A new formal pact will see both sides work together on ensuring new jobs are created as part of the policy.
“Labour’s mission for clean power will create hundreds of thousands of jobs and we are determined they help build a fairer economy, with higher pay, better conditions, and strengthened trade unions at the heart of Britain’s industrial renewal,” he toldThe news comes amid concern over the impact that a planned energy sector overhaul could have on jobs, and frayed relations between Labour and its union backers.
Union insiders have suggested that the new invitation marked a moment of renewal for relations between them and the Labour leadership. Labour has already had to row back on funding its green growth plan saying investment would “ramp up” to £28bn a year by 2027 rather than starting as soon as won power.

Maternal and perinatal outcomes of prolonged second stage of labour: a historical cohort study of over 51,000 women - BMC Pregnancy and ChildbirthBackground Prolonged second stage of labour has been associated with adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. The maximum length of the second stage from full dilatation to birth of the baby remains controversial. Our aim was to determine whether extending second stage of labour was associated with adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted using routinely collected hospital data from 51592 births in Aberdeen Maternity Hospital between 2000 and 2016. The hospital followed the local guidance of allowing second stage of labour to extend by an hour compared to national guidelines since 2008 (nulliparous and parous). The increasing duration of second stage of labour was the exposure. Baseline characteristics, maternal and perinatal outcomes were compared between women who had a second stage labour of (a) ≤ 3 h and (b) | 3 h duration for nulliparous women; and (a) ≤ 2 h or (b) | 2 h for parous women. An additional model was run that treated the duration of second stage of labour as a continuous variable (measured in hours). All the adjusted models accounted for: age, BMI, smoking status, deprivation category, induced birth, epidural, oxytocin, gestational age, baby birthweight, mode of birth and parity (only for the final model). Results Each hourly increase in the second stage of labour was associated with an increased risk of obstetric anal sphincter injury (aOR 1.21 95% CI 1.16,1.25), having an episiotomy (aOR 1.48 95% CI 1.45, 1.52) and postpartum haemorrhage (aOR 1.27 95% CI 1.25, 1.30). The rates of caesarean and forceps delivery also increased when second stage duration increased (aOR 2.60 95% CI 2.50, 2.70, and aOR 2.44 95% CI 2.38, 2.51, respectively.) Overall adverse perinatal outcomes were not found to change significantly with duration of second stage on multivariate analysis. Conclusions As the duration of second stage of labour increased each hour, the risk of obstetric anal sphincter injuries, episiotomies a
