Liz Truss got 47% of eligible Tory members

She wouldn't meet the threshold that ministers set for union members voting on strike action

Shouldn’t tweet in haste! I mean of course the rules that ministers say they want to bring in for strikes in future

It seems govt will today announce these proposals, claiming they'll protect workers’ rights. We’ve looked at them and this is our analysis.

These are paper promises that fail to mitigate the damage that this deal would do to working people. 1/

These proposals are entirely based on process rather than substance. A rehash of the flimsy offer Theresa May’s govt made in March. They do nothing to protect or improve workers’ rights, now or in the future. 2/

They sit alongside the Brexit deal itself, which doesn’t require that UK rights keep pace, and leaves workers with far less power to enforce rights they do have. These half-baked domestic proposals are no match to our current protections. 3/
